How do I save/sweep dc operating points via Jazz?

Hi all,

I'm trying to save/sweep DC operating parameters in ADE for Jazz, I'm interested mainly in gm.  But the standard save oppoint (https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/38/t/35550 method doesn't work, I've used this successfully countless times back in graduate school. 

The one thing that's different is the results browser, it's different from other nodes I've used.  For one thing when I check the save DC operating point box It generates 3 folders in the browser: dcOp. dcOpInfo, and dc.  If I dive into dcOpInfo for static ops, it yields an MDS folder, one level above the dc op point list.  I've never seen this before.  Would this affect the saveop procedure?

Any tips?

I'm am forbidden to post screencaps, so apologies if my descriptions are vague.

Thanks! -K

    This suggests that the model is a subckt model, and so has a level of hierarchy inside the model. If previously you were going to do:

    save M0:gm

    instead do:

    save M0.MDS:gm

    (assuming it's called MDS, with that case - make sure you get the case right).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
