Harmonic balance GMRES Warnnings

Dear All,

I got follwing wrannig while doing PAC with HB analysis.My HB-PSS setting is as below:-

 analysis('pss ?engine "Harmonic Balance"  ?flexbalance "yes"  ?oversamplefactor "2"  
        ?fund "2.5G"  ?harms "60"  ?errpreset "conservative"  ?tstab "50n"  
        ?oscana t  ?p "/V15"  ?n "/gnd!"  ?oscmethod ""  
        ?step ""  ?maxstep "0.4p"  ?write ""  ?writefinal ""  
        ?swapfile ""  ?checkpss ""  ?method "gear2only"  ?tstabmethod "gear2only"  
        ?relref "alllocal"  ?lteratio "10"  ?steadyratio "0.00001"  ?maxacfreq "200G"  
        ?ppv ""  ?backtracking ""  )

 option(    'iabstol  "1e-13"
    'vabstol  "3e-8"
    'reltol  "1e-6"
)


converge( 'ic "/V2" "1.3" )
temp( 27 )

 

 Warning: GMRES did not converge to the desired tolerance of 1e-08. It actually converged to 0.000335882. The solution may not be accurate but it's saved anyway.

Could anybody please tell why this warnning is arising. 

Is it safe to ignore ?

Kind Regards,

    Try downloading the latest MMSIM 12.1.1 version from http://downloads.cadence.com .

    If that doesn't fix the issue, then definitely please file a SR.

     

    best regards,

    Tawna
