"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 !

    In ADE, you probably have it set to save all voltages. Look at Outputs->Save All and change the voltages to "selected". Then save the nets you're interested in.

    Perhaps you're not using wavescan as the viewer, but using the older AWD viewer?

    Either way, you probably still need to resolve the huge file. No point producing enormous data files if you can't view them. Just because you have a 64-bit system, does not mean you'll be able to view the data if using a 32-bit application...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
