How to recover the stopped tran analysis from ADE

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Though the Spectre user guide provides method to restart the stopped transient simulation,  It is unclear to me how it is done  in Analog Design Environment (ADE). From the default  ckptclock = 1800 option it is clear that every half an hour the  state will be  saved. Where this  state file is  saved and with what name? How to  recover the analysis from ADE?? Is there possibility to  restart  a very long running simulation daily in the  night and stop in the  next morning for other work and resume the simulation before leaving again??

Thanks in advance for any help.

    For example, if using MMSIM71, run "cdnshelp" to bring up the documentation system, and then search for "saveperiod" - the first hit is in the "Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator User Guide" in a section called "Creating Saved State Files" - this describes it in some detail.

    If you're using an older version, you may need  to use cdsdoc, or you can look in <MMSIMinstDir>/doc/spectreuser/spectreuser.pdf

    Regards,

    Andrew.
