ADE L: could not open logFiles during a parametric sweep on a transient simulation

apple419
Hi cadence ADE L suers,

My cadence is installed on Redhat linux and I am running Virtuoso 615.

When I do a parametric test (sweep temperature) on a transient simulation, the simulation stopped after the first temperature point successfully run. I got a message in CIW window saying

    *Error* Could not open logFile: /home/users/proj1/design1/simulation/test1/spectre/schematic/psf/artistLogFile

    I checked that file and it is empty. When I closed that file it says E72: Close error on swap file.

    Does it mean I don’t have enough swap space? Seems like the simulator is filling up the partition when this happens.

     But cat /proc/swap shows the following:

     Filename       Type          Size          Used     Priority

     /dev/sda3     partition      2096472  615944      -1

According to this I should have enough space, right? What does -1 priority mean?

Thanks for your help.

  • Hi Andrew,

        You are right. It was because the disk quota was exceeded. Once I made more room in my account, simulation is running again.

        Today I got another error message, which is shown below:

         ERROR (ADE-3036): Errors encountered during simulation. The simulator run log has not been generated.

            Possible cause could be an invalid command line option for the version of the simulator

            you are running. Choose Setup->Environment and verify that the command line options

            specified in the userCmdLineOption field are supported for the simulator.

            Alternatively, run the simulator standalone using the runSimulation file in the netlist

            directory to know the exact cause of the error.

           What does this really mean? This simulation was correct and running fine previously. Today something is not right.

     

    Thanks
