 Hi,

 

May i know how to run the simualtion for 1ns step. i gave it but as the inpurt is changing for fs etc., range - its again doing for20 fs or ps etc., but forcefully i wantthe simulator to calculate for 1ns interval - may i know how to do that - 

 

plz let me know as my circuit has 10 lakh nodes and taking 10 days for simulaiton.

 

regards

Sunil

    Hi Sunil

    I am guessing here so please correct me if I am wrong. Let me just try to help interpret the question:

    You have a design that has 1 million nodes and it currently takes 10 days to simulate. You found that the simulation time step is sometimes in fs or ps range and so would like to increase the time step to 1ns in an attempt to speed up the simulation. But you found that even after setting time step to 1ns, the actual steps shown in the log file are still in fs or ps range. Why is this so?

    1 lakh = Indian numbering systeming for 100 thousand.
