\subsubsection{Name}
Generate -- Interface with the generators
\subsubsection{Synopsys}
\begin{verbatim}
Generate ( model, modelname, param = dict )
\end{verbatim}
\subsubsection{Description}
The \verb-Generate- function call is the generic interface to all generators.
\subsubsection{Arguments}
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb-model- : Specifies which generator is to be invoked
\begin{itemize}
\item If the generator belongs to the Dpgen library provided by Stratus, the model name of the generator is simply the name of the class of the generator.
\item If the generator is created by the user, the model name of the generator must have the form : "file\_name.class\_name". (Note that if the the generator is not in the working directory, the directory of the generator to be instantiated has to be added in the CRL\_CATA\_LIB environment variable)
\end{itemize}
\item \verb-modelname- : Specifies the name of the model to be generated
\item \verb-dict- : Specifies the parameters of the generator
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{Parameters}
Every generator has it's own parameters. They must be described in the map \verb-dict-.\\
\indent Every generator provides a netlist view. Two other views can be generated, if they are provided by the generator. Two parameters have to be given, in order to choose those views :
\begin{itemize}
\item 'physical' : True/False, generation of the physical view (optionnal, False by default)
\item 'behavioral' : True/False, generation of the behavioral view (optionnal, False by default)
\end{itemize}
