how to recover a locked simulation on the Cadence server?

Hello,

I am using Cadence 5.10.41 , I want to know that if I am running a simulation on my Cadence server, which is being accessed through PuTTy on my PC, after a power breakdown on my PC (my server has no power breakdown), I access the PuTTy and I find out that the process has been locked and is not running. What should I do then to recover the simulation from that point?

 Secondly, why does the simulation break if my PC shuts down, because I thought that the simulation was running on the server and it has nothing to do with the interface on my PC?.

 I am accessing the LinuX server using PuTTy and Xming.

    Hi Sohaib

    You can specify +checkpoint in "userCmdLineOption" field in "ADE: Setup->Environment" but there is no need to do so because it is enabled by default. You can also use savestate and recover cmds in the same form. Please search for "Recovering from Transient Analysis Terminations" in $MMSIMHOME/doc/spectreuser/spectreuser.pdf. That section has a lot of info for simulation recovery.

    It is ok to remove checkpoint/savesstate files if they are no longer needed.

    Best regards
