Analyst Simulation Failing

Ken Seybold
Ken Seybold 9 months ago

I am running into an issue when trying to simulate using Analyst on a saved project. I can simulate in an unsaved project but as soon as I save it, it fails the sim. The error log is attached to this post. This log only shows up when simulating with a saved project. For instance, I can take an EM structure from a saved project, duplicate it to an unsaved project and it will simulate it. However as soon as I try to save that project it fails simulation.  

As a note, I am using a university computer so I do not have admin privileges.  

The error log has the "USER" placeholder instead of my actual username due to security. "antennav2" is the folder the project is held in and "Antenna3D" is the EM structure name.

    May be it's a memory usage issue. If you change setting for fields only at the AMR frequencies, the memory usage reduces to a much more manageable level. To access AMR frequencies: Options -> Analyst -> Solver -> Field Output Frequency -> AMR Frequencies Only. Or try increasing the memory and then simulate.  

    If it not resolve the issue, file case on COS with the project, Cadence AWR AE team will work with you on this query. To know more about case filling for university students check the following:
