Regarding section statistics for Monte Carlo

jjang3

Hello everyone,

 

I'm currently trying to create scs library for Monte Carlo and I'm quite sure that I'm doing everything correctly but it is giving me an error that I just cannot figure out why. I already read through Spectre Circuit Simulator User Guide and tried looking in CDNSHELP, but could not find the answer so I was wondering if someone could figure out what the root of my problem is.

 

So as you can see from my image, I have three different scs file consist of different sections. Models and Parameter (Library.scs) library files are working as intended, but I'm struggling mightily with statistics library. Here is the code of my statistics library (it's very simple):

 section statistics

process{

vary param1 dist=gauss std=0.1 percent=no

vary param2 dist=gauss std=0.1 percent=no

}

mismatch{

vary param1 dist=gauss std=0.1 percent=no

vary param2 dist=gauss std=0.1 percent=no

}

endsection statistics

 

and from my perspective, code looks correct, but when I try to simulate I get this wonderful error of:

 

Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.

    ERROR (SFE-874): "/home/j/jjang3/models/Librarystat.scs" 2: Unexpected keyword "process".

 

 I'm really not sure if the error is in my code or I'm messing up somewhere. I'm just not sure how I'm getting this error because process block is supposed to be expected keyword for statistics session or I thought, but it is telling me that I"m using an unexpected keyword. Can someone please help me?

 

Thank you very much,

Sincerely,

    Hi Farshad,


    I think you might need to click on my name and make a friendship request (I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's the case from a few quick checks I did). So please send me a friend request (this is not an invitation to everyone else on the forum to do the same - in general I only suggest direct requests in specific cases).

    Thanks,

    Andrew.
