Re: delay in simulation initialization in ADE-XL
Thanks, Andrew. I will for sure give it a try, although I think I know what everything is in my .cdsinit Adi

delay in simulation initialization in ADE-XL
Hi Andrew, We have a small but aggravating issue in running simulations on ADE-XL with IC6.1.5/MMSIM 10.11 When we run a simulation by pressing the green "play" button in the old fashioned test editor (opened from ADE-XL), the simulation starts to run instantly, as expected. But when we run a simulation by pressing the green ...

Re: APS, Multi-threading, High-Performance Simulation...
Thanks! Do you have any idea what could be causing a long delay to initiate simulations? In other words, I press the "run" button, and once in a while I can wait a minute or longer (sometimes I stop it out of frusteration) before the simulations actually start. I have, for example, waited over 10 minutes for a simple simulation ...

Re: APS, Multi-threading, High-Performance Simulation...
I can run in either local or distributed, and I have plenty of licenses, as I am a student in an academic institute and we get an enlarged package, so I don't mind using a lot of licenses. Thanks

Can anyone help me on this? Thanks Adi

APS, Multi-threading, High-Performance Simulation...
Andrew, I am a bit confused with all of the high performance simulation options in ADE-XL/GXL. I am using IC 6.1.5.506 with MMSIM 10.11.200 On ADE I have: 1. "Options->Job Setup->Max Jobs" 2. "Options->Run Options-> Run In" 3. "High-Performance ...

Re: Irregularity during DC Sweep Simulation
Thanks, Andrew. I think that explains it. So from what I understand (please correct me if I'm mistaken), the next point in a DC sweep uses the previous point as an initial guess, therefore I am converging in the same area (in this case, my metastable point). I would imagine that this "feature" makes DC Sweeps faster than and ...

Re: Irregularity during DC Sweep Simulation
Andrew, Thanks for the suggestion, but alas, it doesn't have any affect... (this smells like a bug to me... shouldn't "restart" fix this?) Actually, Lawrence's suggestion worked - sweeping from 1.1 down to 0 produces the correct result. I didn't understand your note. I know I have multiple operating points, but I ...

Re: Irregularity during DC Sweep Simulation
Thanks again. I think your observations are accurate. I think the problem, as you said, is that the convergence at the first sweep point is to a metastable point and it uses this for the next point. But this is what I'm trying to work around. From what I could understand the "restart=yes" option for the DC simulation is supposed ...

Re: Irregularity during DC Sweep Simulation
Thanks, Lawrence. I'm actually quite familiar with the operation of IC and nodeset and I believe I am using them correctly. In fact, IC's are ignored during DC simulations, so they would have no affect. I think that the problem does have something to do with a metastable state, as you mentioned. However, the DC Sweep should have the ...
