GenerateInitFile

The GenerateInitFile column in a testplan allows you to assign a new name to the .init file that records the state of the system at the last time point of the simulation. This new name is based on the identifier in that column and is combined with the path and name of the schematic. The newly named .init file is saved in a subdirectory of the folder containing the schematic, making it unnecessary for you to specify a directory or path.

To ensure that the resulting filename is safe, the following changes are made automatically:

The identifier is transformed to all lowercase.
Spaces are replaced with underscores.
All non-alphanumeric characters are removed.

After generating the .init file, you can include it in a simulation deck by placing the same identifier in an IncludeInitFile column of the testplan.

The generateinitifile column can be blank.
