 I am getting the following error during PSS sweep analysis: Internal error found in spectre during sweep analysis`sweeppss'. Please run `getSpectreFiles' or send the netlist, thespectre log file, the behavioral model files, and any other informationthat can help identify the problem to support(at)cadence.com. my spectre version is mmsim6.1. who know what's the problem ? thank you all!

    Hmm. You're not doing anything unusual, and countless people will do this kind of thing without the simulator failing with an internal error, so it must be related to your exact data (circuit, models, etc, etc).

    Usually with an internal error, it tells you which line in the code it was failing at. Posting the log file might help identify the problem. However, if the problem is known (which may be hard to check with such an old version), the solution would almost certainly be to move to a newer MMSIM version. You don't seem to be prepared to do that, so it's really rather hard to see how you expect the problem to be solved.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
