Error messages while running ocean script

Hi,

I am using ocean scripts to automate the parametric simulation in spectre. Though it is returning result. Still I observe some error messages which are as follows.

1. 

Delete psf data in /homes/schatterjee/subvt_28/SUBVT28CORE_test/simulation/lslh_28nm_lvt_test_new/spectre/schematic/v_supply=1/psf.
*WARNING* asiiEvalDesignValList: problem with variable vddh

*Error* in the Design Variables. AEL's message: unspecified
syntax error:
simulate...

2. 

spectre completes with 0 errors, 11 warnings, and 16 notices.

INFO (ADE-3071): Simulation completed successfully.
reading simulation data...
...successful.
reading simulation data...
...successful.
*Error* <Initial> argument should be a valid number

I am bit curious about those error messages. I will highly appreciate if somebody can explain me a bit.

Regards

Saikat

    Hi Saikat,

    The first problem (and maybe the second) are almost certainly because of:

    desVar( "vddh" "1V" )

    There shouldn't be a "V" in the value. You can't add units (by units I don't mean suffix operators, but SI units). So just do:

    desVar("vddh" "1")

    Andrew.
