This document shows what environment variables need to be set and what directories need to be included in the search path when using Cadence tools at ECE of UMass. (ECE659 students should be able to access tikva or terry to run the Cadence tools).

Append the following lines to your .cshrc file, then you can run Cadence tools now!

# Note: The following environment settings assume that the Cadence tools
#     have been installed in the directory # /cadence. 
#     If you have installed them under the directory structure /A/B/C
#     then please precede /cadence by a /A/B/C everywhere in the following document
#     ex: setenv CDS_INST_DIR /cadence/sunos41
#     will have to be replaced by setenv CDS_INST_DIR /A/B/C/cadence/sunos41
