SEMulator3D is available for academic research use only. Users with both industrial and academic research projects must only use this software for the academic research projects. 

Coventor SEMulator3D may not be used for any commercial purposes or in any manner for commercial consulting work.

Availability

Installs are available on both select Windows workstations in the CNF CAD Rm, the AWS Conversion Cloud, and Korat/Minx. Use Korat/Minx or the Windows workstations for designing your process flows or short modeling runs. Use the AWS Conversion Cloud / Korat/Minx for longer runs.

Documentation

...

1. Login to CNF Thin using the ThinLinc client installed on Windows workstations or a CNF Thinstation.
2. Open a terminal prompt (Applications menu → CNF Applications → XTerm) .

3. Type in (below example is for minx... Coventor is on both Korat and Minx):
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   vglconnect -s minx -S ${TLSESSIONDATA}/minx

   
   

4. After a successful connection is made to Minx, start Coventor with the following command:

   Code Block
   language bash
   setenv VGL_PROBEGLX 0 vglrun /opt/local/bin/semulator3d8semulator3d10

   
   

If you run any additional Coventor commands directly from the commandline, you must prefix those commands with "vglrun" as shown above. Otherwise the graphics will not work correctly.

Python

There are two ways to use Python in Coventor:

1. As a standalone python script
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ vglconnect -s minx -S ${TLSESSIONDATA}/minx (minx) $ bash (minx) $ source /opt/local/Coventor/SEMulator3D10/bin/semulator3d.sh   # Verify python version is 2.7.x: (minx) $ python --version   # Run code with python (minx) $ python /path/to/filename.py

   
   

2. Call python as a process step within SEMulator3D
   Useful to do specialized things with the standard, single device GUI interface.
