ADE problem: fail to evaluate nodes deep in hierarchy

kchen

I'm using IC6.1.6-64b.500.3. For a circuit with deep hierarchy, I ran .dc and .tran sims. I can see .dc op and .tran info in all circuit nodes on the top level and 1 or 2 level down (subcircuits). But after I go deep into hierarchy, roughly 5 levels down, the .dc and .tran info for internal circuit nodes are not saved any more, and ADE just says "fail to evaluate".

In ADE, I tried: output -> save all, (save) to "all", (pwr) to "all", (currents) to "all", (subcktprobelvl) to 100, (nestlvl) to 100, etc.

None of the above worked for .dc and .tran sim. BUT for .noise, .ac sims, all internal nodes can be accessed.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thanks!

    Please contact customer support. I see no reason why this shouldn't work - so we'll probably need to take a look at your data and setup.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
