Using Custom SKILL functions with Monte Carlo in ADE and OCEAN

The workaround (#1) provided below did not work for me.

Here's my error message

     ERROR (APS-8003): subckts: Error evaluating ocean expression `txpp_Q0=dataJitter(clip((VT("/I0/ICORE_Q0CP") -     VT("/I0/ICORE_Q0CN")) 1e-08 1.5e-08) (1 / 1.25e+10) 0)'.

Unsuccessfully evaluated export statements (based on return code).

Analysis `mc1' was terminated prematurely due to an error.

It works if I enter the expression in the CIW window.

I also tried using OCEAN by loading the SKILL routine in the monteCarlo.ocn script.  I get the error message too.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Regards,

Gary

    Hi Gary,

    I see this is being dealt with via SR  42066046. I've checked, and the workaround in the solution mentioned above does work - but best followed up via the SR (I've been talking with the AEs dealing with it).

    Loading the code in the monteCarlo.ocn script won't work, because the key thing is that spectre starts an "artil" process to do the calculations, and the artil process needs to have any custom code loaded.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
