probe the signal at the nodes of sub-cells in post layout simulation

In top level post layout simulation with cadence's ADE, there are two ways of probing the signals at the nodes of sub-cells:

1. Decend to extracted view, and zoom in to the connection of the nodes and select the parasitic components, decend one level again, and select the nodes of the parasitic components and save to output;

2. Save all outputs, simulate, and then open results browser and select the nodes. Remember to choose schematic names during assura extraction (Name space under extraction tab), it makes the nodes name readable. This method takes a lot of disk space and is slow.
