class kicadtoNgspice.Processing.PrcocessNetlist

  • This class include all the function required for pre-proccessing of netlist before converting to Ngspice Netlist.

convertICintoBasicBlocks(schematicInfo, outputOption, modelList, plotText)

  • Parses the schematicInfo and returns

    • SchematicInfo

    • Output Option

    • Model List

    • Unkown Model List

    • Multiple Model List

    • Plot text

  • Parsing info is provided below

insertSpecialSourceParam(schematicInfo, sourcelist)

  • Insert Special source parameter

  • As per the parameters passed create source list, start with v or i

  • Then check for type whether ac, dc, sine, etc…

  • Handle starting with h and f as well

preprocessNetlist(kicadNetlist, param)

  • Preprocess netlist (replace parameters)

  • Separate infoline (first line) from the rest of netlist

readNetlist(filename)

  • Read the circuit file and return splitted lines

readParamInfo(kicadNetlist)

  • Read Parameter information and store it into dictionary

  • kicadNetlist is the .cir file content

separateNetlistInfo(netlist)

  • Remove the options such as .end, .param, starting wtih “.” from the netlist file

  • This is stored as option info, whereas rest is stored as schematicInfo

  • Rest from the * Sheet Name: line stored as schematicInfo
