simulator changing from spectre to ams

Hello,

I have access to two different linux machines where my  home folder is mapped via nfs. I am trying to simulate the same design on those two machines at the same time. The only difference is say, on one machine I am running a two tone test and on the other machine i am running a one tone test. The design I am simulating contains huge amount of parasitic components and when spectre runs, it generally consumes all the available RAM, thats why i am using two different machines instead of  using ADE-XL and running different tests in parallel.

The problem now is, say on one machine, my ADE L is open . Now, when on the second machine, I open ADE-L, it shows that the simulator is AMS instead of Spectre. If I try to load the saved spectre state, I get a warning message saying simulator is different and only common options will be loaded. Only way to fix it is to restart the virtuoso.

Is there any workaround or fix for this problem, OR a better way to run simulations on different machines.

Thanks

BR

    You can still change the simulator once in ADE L - that ought to work regardless of where you launched ADE L from. Somehow your default simulator has got changed in that session - but you can easily change it within an active ADE session.
