itkdbgetgeometry - Script command

out=itkdbgetgeometry(inputs);

Evaluates a Virtuoso layout parameterized/fixed-cell and returns its geometry data to FDTD/MODE.

inputs: struct that contains the library information and optionally the design parameter list. The struct should contain the information of:

• "cdsLib": Virtuoso project cds.lib file path.

• "libName": Virtuoso library name.

• "cellName": Virtuoso cell name.

• "viewName": Virtuoso view name.

• "paramList": a struct that contains the parameter names and values, for the parameterized-cell.

For a fixed-cell, this command returns its default geometry data. For a parameterized-cell, this command returns its geometry data for the given design parameters; if paramList is not provided, the command returns geometry data for the default design.

The return geometry data is a struct that includes:

• "polygons": a list of geometry data that is grouped by CAD layers and purposes. Each element in the list is a struct that contains:
  • "layer": Virtuoso layer name.
  • "purpose": Virtuoso layer purpose.
  • "points": a list shapes at this "layer" and "purpose". Each element of the list contains the (x,y) vertices for a shape.
• "pins": a list of pin data that is grouped by CAD layers and purposes. Each element in the list is a struct that contains:
  • "layer": Virtuoso layer name.
  • "purpose": Virtuoso layer purpose.
  • "name": Virtuoso pin name.
  • "photonicAngle": Virtuoso pin angle.
  • "lowerLeftX": x coordinate of the pin's lower-left boundary.
  • "lowerLeftY": y coordinate of the pin's lower-left boundary.
  • "upperRightX": x coordinate of the pin's upper-right boundary.
  • "upperRightY": y coordinate of the pin's upper-right boundary.
