Naming supercomponent ports

You can define the names of supercomponent ports through the Circuit API.

A supercomponent port can be referred to by its index on a supercomponent, or by a port iterator. Here we will demonstrate how to refer to a port through the port iterator which is the most convenient method.

The following script defines three port names, as shown in the figure below:

• RTL_linear_left

• RTL_linear_right

• RTL_rotary_src

Insert this code in your script:

Copy

# The list of port names can be loaded from an external source of data (Excel, ...)
port_names = ['RTL_linear_left', 'RTL_linear_right', 'RTL_rotary_src']
# Loop over the supercomponent ports (from first to last port)
# to set the name of each of them
for port in AMECreateComponentPortIteration("rot_to_linear_alias"):
  AMESetPortName2(port,port_names.pop())
