How to interpret (monte carlo simulation)?

pitter
Hi,

Monte Carlo simulation is unseccessful because of an error:

0 t nil ("*Error* ilGetInt: arg must be fixnum" nil))

I found a solution on the internet :

------------------------------------------------
Trap: Autoplot fails, even if sim completes normally

Don't you just love these error messages:

Monte Carlo Simulation completed successfully...

*Error* request.il asiiFinish: error in finish function ("ilGetInt"

0 t nil ("*Error* ilGetInt: arg must be fixnum" nil))

Simulation appears to be hung!!!

Solution: Problem was in the specification of Swept Parameter on the main form. Items in the list of values should be separated by spaces not commas. Click 'Simulation - Stop' to recover.

----------------------------------------------

How shall I interpret it. Where can I find "Swept Parameter on the main form", which main form?

Kind Regards,

 pitter

    Assuming it's IC5X you're using (it really helps if you can say which version you're using, because the UI is quite different from IC61X), then it's on the Tools->Monte Carlo form. You have the ability to vary a parameter on this form - e.g. temperature by specifying a list of values. The issue was that you needed to space separate these values rather than comma separate them. As far as I can tell, the fix occurred many releases ago, so that's probably not it.
