Monte Carlo simulation under ADE XL

chihai2011

 Hi, guys

 Revently when I was working on Monte Carlo simulation with ADE XL, there is an error happening all the time .

\o *Error*   Error ID  = 5011
\o *Error*   Error Msg = Simulator failed to complete the simulation.
\o
\o           Error found by spectre during hierarchy flattening.
\o ERROR
\o           (SFE-1997): "input.scs" 25: mc1: parameter `dut': A scalar
\o           is expected as the value for parameter `dut'.

It also says there is not statistical data generated.

Could you please help me on this?  Thank you so much!!!!!

  • Hi Quek,

    That should be "CDS_Netlisting_Mode" (the case is wrong). Simpler to use the SKILL function:

    cdsGetNetlistMode()

    Anyway, I suspect the issue is due to a version of spectre being used which is too old. Originally the "dut" (Device Under Test" had to be a single instance, but that changed in MMSIM70 Update 1 (7.0.1.053). If using a spectre version before that, and specifying the Device Under Test in the Monte carlo options form in ADE XL, then I suspect you could get this problem.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
