Hi，

I refer below link example：

Interferometer - Siemens EDA Tanner S-Edit Interoperability – Ansys Optics

I open the sample file with S-edit according to the path below (.../TannerEDA/TannerTools_v2020.1/Designs/Interferometer/lib.defs)
However, it is not the schematic display shown on the official website

Figure 1

Instead, the following symbol display,

Figure 2

Can you tell me why?
Thanks

Seems like you are viewing top level cell. Have you extrated the example by following step 1.3? Interferometer - Siemens EDA Tanner S-Edit Interoperability – Ansys Optics

Step 1. 3 

Export the netlist using the SPICE netlist export tool (File/Export/SPICE)

Thanks for your reply, I still have two questions to ask:

 

1) I want to figure out that if step 1.3 is skipped, then the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1 on the official website cannot be obtained?

2) When I try to Export the netlist using the SPICE netlist export tool (File/Export/SPICE), I can’t find ‘schematic’ in the drop-down menu of ‘view’, and I can’t find ‘SPICE lumerical’ in ” Property name”, as shown in Figure 3

 

How can I get the schematic shown on the official website?

 

Thanks

1. You can visualize schematics at any point(the picture in Ansys website) by right clicking view– Show all schematics. The  double click on schematic from list. Please refer user manual for tanner software to learn more about how to use Tanner software and use different options.  

2. You are choosing wrong cell “interferometer_100u”. You have to choose cell “interferometer”. Also, ensure to save in correct “.spi” file extension. Please refer the following figure.

 Export control property can be typed in to : “SPICE Lumerical” if the option is not available.

Thanks
