hi guys! we designed an inductor using ASITIC, but it isnt recognized as a device by magic when extracting the netlist what can we do? We tried FastHenry2 but it doesn't recognize ".GDS". Already, we don't know how to use this tool, apreciate if someone has info !

If you put the inductor in a cell by itself, add the inductor pins, and place a metal short resistor between the pins, you can extract the cell as an abstract model and compare that to an inductor subcircuit in your schematic. After reading the gds in magic,

load <inductor_cell>
        property LEFview true

before extracting.

Better, you should set

property device primitive

. That tells magic to treat the subcell itself as a device. The subcell should then be given the same name as your device model (which should be a subcircuit; if it is not a subcircuit, then create a subcircuit wrapper for it). Make sure that the layout has port labels and the port indexes match the order of pins in your subcircuit model.
