Video Demo -- Increase Simulation Accuracy and Efficiency With SpectreMDL

Measurement Description Language (MDL) is an immensely powerful feature in our simulators that is frequently overlooked.  MDL gives the designer advanced control of our simulators allowing them to run better simulations quicker.  Below is a quick demo to get you started. Also, be sure to try out the workshop in your hierarchy under <MMSIM_installation>/tools/spectre/examples/MDL_workshop.
