Hi Fangyi,
It will be

(mySampleAMI
 (ntap 5)
)

The keywords Reserved_Parameters and Model_Specific are meant for organizing 
the parameters in the ami file only and not supposed to be passed to the model.

Thanks,
Ambrish.

Subject: [ibis-macro] question on Model_Specific branch name in input parameter 
string

Hi, Experts;

Based on the current AMI standard should the Model_Specific  branch name appear 
in the input parameter string to the AMI Init call? For example, for the 
following .ami file

(mySampleAMI
  (Reserved_Parameters
    ...
  )

  (Model_Specific
    (ntap (Usage In) (Type Integer) (Format Value 5))
  )
)

Shall the input parameter string be

(mySampleAMI
  (Model_Specific
(ntap 5)
  )
)

or

(mySampleAMI
 (ntap 5)
)

I understand that if the proposed BIRD is accepted then Model_Specific and 
Reserved_Parameter branchs will disappear. But for models written based on the 
current standard it's not clear which format EDA tools should feed to models.

Thanks in advance.

Fangyi
