Trouble with ocean script for parametric analysis using ADE L

Hi,

I am using ocean scripting for parametric analysis of my design. There I came across a strange issue. My interest is to vary the supply voltage for that I am using a variable called v_supply. For single simulation when I am assigning a value to that variable, it is working. 

desVar( "v_supply" 300m)

But when I want to have a parametric analysis using the same, it is showing the following message.

*INFO* (icLic-25) License Analog_Design_Environment_GXL ("95220") was used to run ADE L.
The variable "v_supply" is not defined in the current
design.

I am using the following codes. 

paramAnalysis("v_supply" ?values '(300 425 550 675 800 ))
paramRun ()

I also tried with 

paramAnalysis("v_supply" ?start 300 ?stop 800 ?step 100)
paramRun ()

without any difference.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Saikat Chatterjee

    I haven't tried that subversion (I'm out of the office this week so can't easily test), but I rather doubt it is version specific - this stuff hasn't changed in years, as far as I know.

    I tried your OCEAN script (with a few small changes to the paths at the beginning) and with desVar() before the paramAnalysis. I also removed the additional close parenthesis at the end of paramAnalysis and also the space between paramRun and the subsequent (). This worked perfectly for me.

    So you'll have to go to customer support if you can't get this working - I suspect it's something wrong in your setup rather than a tool bug, but hard for me to see from here.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
