Fasten the startup time of simulation?

Rune
Rune over 13 years ago
I am trying to simulate a rather large circuit with extracted parasitics. I am running IC5.1.41 with MMSIM11. From when I push "Netlist and run" the time to start the simulation can take hours, while the simulation (i.e. from when spectre is instantiated) itself is like 30 minutes. Is there a way to make this initiation become faster?

    Hi Rune

    You can speed up your simulation using any one of the following methods:
    a. If you are using QRC, do RC-reduction during QRC
    b. Use spectre aps mode
    c. Use spectre rc reduction

    Best regards
