Have problem in ADE XL in simulating corner

hi,Andrew

Hope you have a good day.My cadence version is IC615-64b.when I simulated corner with ADE XL ,some of them successed,but most of them failed.I totally have 135 corner. I choose signle run.I did tran analysis.

it hint error like this:  *error* close:error closing file,*error* during netlisting of design for the point,*error* error ID=5012,*error* error msg=failed to creat netlist

 When I open debug enviroment in ADE XL on these corner doing tran,it could not generate netlist.But if I use ADE L doing tran only for these corner,it work fine.If I use ADE L doing dc and tran (dc first ,then tran),it hint  sst2 error:No space left on device.This is strange.

 

Thanks any help in advance

    The messages are pretty clear - you've run out of disk space (or exceeded your quota). Check the area where you're storing the simulation results in particular.

    Thank you for your quik reply.I thought my quota is 5G(actually 1G),so I  thought that is a wrong hint.Now the problem is fixed.Thank you.

    By the way, I run some corner doing dc ,I set one net expression in output setup tab,after simulation,results tab show dc value of that net across different coner like a table. If I want another net show its dc value  like that ,how to to it without run simulation again

     Hi,

    By the way, I run some corner doing dc ,I set one net expression in output setup tab,after simulation,results tab show dc value of that net across different coner like a table. If I want another net show its dc value  like that ,how to to it without run simulation again

      First, make sure your active setup correspondens to your simulation run which you want to modifiy. If you are not sure, switch to 'Data View' assistant and right click on your history item and select 'Load Setup to Active'.

    Then go to the 'Outputs Setup' tab and add another expression, just as usual. After that, switch to the 'Results' tab and click on  the 'Re-Evaluation' Button (yellow box).The new result will be added and your results database will be updated.

     Find details in the help: 'Re-evaluating Expressions and Specifications' in ADE XL User Guide

    Note that you don't need to do the "load setup to active" if you are adding output expressions to the simulation just completed - i.e. the "active" setup. If you've closed ADE XL and restarted, you have to do this (rather than just view results) if you want to change the output setup; if all you want to do is look at the previous results, view results is sufficient (and the recommended way).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

    Andrew,

    I have another question in this regard.  Lets say i have ran some tests (through different parameter setups) and they ran successfully and i have them in my history tab.  Now i have done some subtle changes in the design and want to run same sims again.  Now one method which is pretty clear is to right click on the history item and load them as active setup and rerun.  But it will create a new history item.  What i wanted to do is not to create a separate history item and just re-run the previous setup from history item and just overwrite the previous result (i don't want to compare them actually).  I don't see any such thing when i right click on history item eg interative.*** .  

    In present case, if i have an area constraint and have 15 history items to re-run after changes, it will eat up my area.  Or i have to delete the previous run after i fired the new ones one by one.  Also it is time consuming to load all 15 items one by one from hisoty item to active setup and run them.  Now i had 2 queries :   

    1. Is there a way by which i can just overwrite it in on the same history item and area etc.

    2. Is there any other easy way to re-run all the history items (lets say i have 15 of them, which if you do one by one takes a lot of time) i have earlier ran, with a single click with new changes in schematic (can we create some script or do it through UI )

    Regards,

    Vivek

    Hi Vivek,

    You can overwrite a history item by selecting Options->Save...  In the Save options form, check the Overwrite History checkbox and select the desired history to overwrite in the cyclic field.

     There is no easy way from the UI to re-run all history items, but it could probably be done programmatically.

     Regards,

    TOM
