HELP: Not enough storage space when taking Transient simulation

ccarrot

 Hi Sir/Madam:

 I'm taking a long transient simulation in Cadence Spectre, the simulation is to calculate the BER(bit error rate) of a transistor-level circuit.

 

Because I have a symbol which is written in Verilog-AMS to calculate the BER and store the result in a text file outside, so I don't need the cadence to store any simulation result. I have done:

1. In ADE XL Test Editor,  =>Output=>save all, I unclick all the selections (save nothing), and click OK

But at last,  a file named "tran.tran" will be still saved in "~/cadence/simulation/***/adexl/result/data/Interactive.0/1/***/psf", and this file in my simulation will be as large as about 600Gbit (after only 1-day simulation, and the data is still not sufficient for me); the cadence then will say it "face a fatal error" when writing data to "tran.tran" file, there is not enough space to store the data.

 

 

 I even deleted the "tran.tran" file when the simulation started, but the problem was still there.

Could anyone help me with these:

1. Why cadence still saves the transient data even thought I have selected "save nothing"? Did I make the wrong setup?

2. Is there any method can be taken to let cadence  just do the simulation but save no simulation data?

 

I'm very appreciated for your help! I've trapped myself in this problem for days! Thank you very much for any help!

    Hi ccarrot

    To prevent saving any signals, you can select "none" instead of not selecting any of the choices. If none of the choices are selected, the signals which you have specified in "Output setup" will still be saved.

    Would you please try it and see if it resolves your problem?

    Best regards
