"simulation data not available" problem

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Hello,

I used "tran" analysis for a simulation, with simulation setup all correct (ie. same setup as my prev. known good ones). Indeed, simulation finished, and the tran.tran file was about 290 Giga. However, when I used plot to see nodes' voltage/current, it said the wavefore data was not available, and then it crashed the whole "icfb" tool kits.

I am wondering if this is a bug, or a limitation that I was not aware before. This happened several times so I am wondering if there is a solution for it. Thank you !

    My system is a true 64-bit linux version, though limited memory capacity. Seems even I did not save any waveform for any nodes or nets, it still generated a tran.tran.tra file about 40 G. This simulation is not very critical so I actually ignored this paracity-included simulation, instead, just use a purely schematic simulation.

    I also play a bit what Samir suggested. However, do not know why "Select Data" is not active in the Setting menu. I am using version 5.10.41.

    Thank you very much for very helpful suggestions.
