I m in inverter tutorial and getting error = xi0.m1: Effective length is less than or equal to zero. I changed the L & W to a certain range but it did not help. Moreover for an another project i need to vary L & W to a certain range and see its graph simultaneously ... Can i do this? I know i can vary dc ac voltage and all that in analysys section but how can i do this in case of physical parameters such as Length and Width? Can i vary the performance by changing any other parameter? Thanks fr suggestion

    Not sure what you mean by inverter tutorial. Please post your netlist.

    As far as varying W and L and plotting, one way to do it is to make them design variables and run parametric analysis.
