Sathish,
If you do not have access to the device (.txt) files from Designer AND you have all of the allegro models built and placed in allegro, you can FILE, EXPORT, LIBRARIES, select DEVICE FILES.
put all of those .txt files into a separate directory.
Edit your ENV file to add a DEVPATH statement pointing to the new directory containing the device files.

Thanks Reade, Sue for the info. I tried importing the .tel file as you mentioned. whle importing with syntax check enabled in first step its showing error file for eg:
$PACKAGES
CDRH6D38 ! '3A_3P3UH_SMT_IND' ! '3.3UH' ! '20%' ; L17 L18 L5021 L13008 ,
^
ERROR: Cannot find device file for '3A_3P3UH_SMT_IND'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got only the .tel file right now. I think its searching for Device files and library path. How to create config and .txt device files from mentor tool and how to assign the path in env directory.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!
With Sincere,

I think you may have more questions in mind, but I'll take the simple track.
Allegro reads in .tel files with no problem. 3rd party netlist
File
Import
Logic
Other
find your .tel file in the ... button
run the syntax check only first to make sure your netlist is structurally sound.
then select supercede all logical data (this actually means read the netlist).
Now for the problems, you will need a config file on the mentor side so that you translate correctly - this may take some work - talk to your mentor vendor.
also you will need to have the .txt files that are created at the time you run your netlist (these are the devices files) and point to them through your env file. I have not run designer in a long time but I think you need to select the option to create them.
