viewing spectre simulation results right from the start

memphis

Hi to everyone!

We're looking for a solution for an apparently simple problem.

When starting a simulation with spectre, we want to look into the results right from the beginning.
We want to do this to evaluate the simulation immediately. This is sometimes necessary for long-lasting simulations to stop them if they are going into the wrong direction.

However, spectre seems to update the saved simulation data periodically in fixed time frames.
Thus, for long simulations we have to wait for a very long time to be able to take a first look at our saved outputs. Is there a command or a flag for spectre (MMSIM) that I can set to shorten this time frame?

We spent a lot of time searching for this option in the Cadence manuals without success. We are using IC6.1.6 and MMSIM14.1 but the problem is version independent since older and newer releases show same behavior in our setup.


Thank you for your help in advance.

    Thank you for your help.
    @Quek - The environment variable was the solution we were looking for.
    @Andrew - We are aware of the advantages or disadvantages of quicker access or writing data in bigger chunks. Nevertheless thank you for pointing to this problem.
