Setting Model Variables
Variables can be defined at the IC-CAP system level or at the model, DUT and setup levels. You can define as many variables as you need and use these variables for other functions, such as extractions.
The Model Variables folder contains the names and values of all variables that are global to the model.

Do not attempt to enter an expression when editing model variables. Expressions in variables are not evaluated when the variables are referenced. If a variable is used in a numeric expression, enter a single number only.
Do not enter the name of a system variable into the value field. The value of the system variable is not evaluated when the variable is referenced.
