Mentor Expedition: EDIF import

[[email protected]]

I can generate an EDIF netlist of my design. I would like to send this
to a third party which are using Mentor Expedition. Is this possible?

Only if you get lucky. EDIF was created by a committee of developers
of competing CAD programs. Thus NO ONE follows the _standard_ :-(

I can manipulate the EDIF and add attributes etc. if I know what kinds
of structures and attributes are required by Expedition, or if this is
possible at all.

If you have a cooperative person on the Mentor side, have him generate
an EDIF for you to study.

Come to think of it I already have a sample EDIF file from Expedition,
maybe I'll just ask if it works to import it into a fresh project to
verify that it works before I start generating such a beast...

There is an EDIF parser - checker - on the EDIF organizations' web site.

I found it very helpful.

Thank you for your tip. However, an EDIF parser is extreme simple,
especially when written in Common Lisp:

(with-open-file (s (make-pathname :name "test" :type "edif") :direction :input)
(read s))

Oh.

I guess I didn't realize that EDIF was that simple to parse and verify the
syntax to the EDIF 2 0 0 (or EDIF 3 0 0) standards.
