dft error with a valid transient waveform

Hello,

I want to calculate the dft of a transient waveform.

Thought vtime('tran "/out") is a valid waveform (it can be plotted with no error), I get the following error message:

*WARNING* yvector wrong type.

expression evaluation failed: val is not legal.
expression evaluation failed: dft(vtime('tran "/out") 100n 200n 1024 "Rectangular" 1 "default" 1.0 )
"(\"putprop\" 0 t nil (\"*Error* putprop: first arg must be either symbol, list, defstruct or user type\" nil))"

I tried also with VT("/out"), but the same error appeared.

I am using ic 615isr20121027 and mmsim 15.10.602

Thank you

Best regards,

Aldo
