Results Browser in IC5.10.41

Hi,

I am using IC5.10.41 and wanted to know how can the below mentioned things be done.

1. Is there a way to print the numerous output expression values for a simulation that was previously done? Till now i have found that they would need to be re-evaluated using the calculator, which is all the more troublesome if we have numerous corner or parametric simulations!!
I believe in IC615 its possible to reload these expression values as there is a resultsDB for the same. Is there something like this for IC5141?

2. Is it possible to plot a particular signal for all the corners/parametric sweeps, using the result browser? As currently i see we need to individually select each corner result for the signal and plot it

    Hi ag2888,

     > While reloading the simulation directory it should be the psf directory that we should be loading right?

     When you are running in distributed mode, the name of the results directory is selected when performing a  Results->Select operation for a parametric simulation, for example. If you load a specific psf directory, that will load one of the specific results from your set of parametric sweeps. In local mode, the  ~/simulation/<Sch_name>/spectre/schematic directoy is selected to choose the parametric results.

    Having written this, I have occasionally experienced a problem when selecting parametric results where the ADE will not allow one to select the simulation directory of a parametric simulation - but only the psf directory of each of the runs within the parametric sweep. I have opened an SR for this a couple of times. The problem is intermittent, but does seem to occur when switching between distributed and local modes os job submission. If you experience it, you might try re-starting your icfb session and trying to select the parametric sweep directory again. This has worked for me a few times.

    I am sure others can provide further insight into your issue than I can.
