ADE XL Monte Carlo Simulation: "Error evaluating ocean expression"

lperktold
 Hello All,

 I am experiencing a rather strange behavior of ADE XL when it comes to evaluate the expressions defined in the
'Outputs Setup' section during a monte carlo run.

 The simulation stops (after the first run has finished) with an error like:

 ERROR (SPECTRE-8003): designParamVals: Error evaluating ocean expression `DE_1_I_Bias_6_45=average(IT("/I0/I0/I0/T7/D"))'.

 If I disable all the expressions in the 'Outputs Setup' pane the simulation runs fine. I can then use the 'Re-evaluate Result' button in the 'Results' pane to evaluate my defined expressions without any problems.

 I am using

- Spectre Version 7.1.1.187.isr11 64bit -- 18 Aug 2009
- Virtuoso version IC6.1.4.500.3

 Anybody else, experiencing this kind of strange behavior?

Cheers,
         Lukas

  •  Thanks. But my account doesn't have facility to file a service request.

     Regarding the directory structure - I have tried it out. Don't think that the directory structure is the problem since then it would have failed when invoked from the command line as well.

     One thing that I noticed. The .ahdlSimDB directory gets created when run in command line, but not when run through the program. Although, in both cases, I see that the directory creation log is present in the log file.

    I am strongly suspecting a file system flushing error.
