How to recover the stopped tran analysis from ADE

archive

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.

    The file will be saved in the netlist directory (which is the directory that spectre is run from). You can recover from it by using the recover parameter in transient, or you can use the "Start from checkpoint file" on the Setup->Environment form.

    Better is to use the "saveperiod/saveclock/savetime/savefile" options which have been added in recent versions of spectre (I think MMSIM61 onwards, although it may have been MMSIM60). These save the full "state" of the simulation and so the recovery is much better. Effectively the old checkpoint mechanism doesn't store everything it needs to, and so you can end up with some startup troubles in some cases if you use that approach.
