ocean script with added analysis for monte carlo

frogconsultant

 Hi All,

I am using ADE-L license with 6.1.5 and I would like to run a monte carlo simulation. So I create an environment with a DC analysis which I saved into an ocean script. So far so good. Now I wish to add on this ocean script a monte-carlo setup. So within the file input.scs I am adding the following lines:

mc1 montecarlo variations=process seed=1234 numruns=200 {dcOp dc}

where dcOp is my previous child process name for the DC analysis.

I then invoked ocean and load the ocean script with "load("oceanScript.ocn") but I do not have any monte-carlo results. Btw is there a direct line command to invoke, load and run the script.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Fabian

  • Hi Fabian,

    You need this:

     mc1 montecarlo variations=process seed=1234 numruns=200  savefamilyplots=yes {
      dcOp dc
    }

    because otherwise it won't save the waveform data for each iteration (the default is that it doesn't do that in order to save disk space; often you're collecting scalar results so you can display histograms).

    Note that the Monte Carlo post-processing capabilities are enabled by the ADE XL license (which corresponds to the IC5141 "statistics" option).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
