ADE XL Timed Out Running Monte Carlo Simulation

spaceradlab

This is the first time we are trying a Monte Carlo Simulation so it is most likely a setup issue but I'm not sure where to look for additional clues.

We are able to run a 'Single Run' simulation of a simple circuit using ADE XL but when we try to run Monte Carlo Sampling of the same simple circuit we get

error ADEXL-2107  Job timed out while pending after 300 seconds

and the run status says 'running' but it never starts/finishes. 

What to try and where to look for additional clues ?

thanks

    Do you get the same problem if you do a sweep or run several corners in ADE XL?

    Which IC subversion are you using (Help->About will tell you this in any of the windows in Virtuoso)?

    Regards,

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the reply.  I believe I may have some compatibility issues with my installation.

    We are running IC6.1.7-64b.78 on RHEL 7.2 Linux 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64

    Besides the Monte Carlo issue, I cannot see Assura in my Layout XL menu listing. 

    We have installed ASSURA41 and EXT172.  I don't see that Assura415 is supported on RHEL7.

    Do I need to revert to a different OS in order to use all these tools I have available ?

    thanks,

    jill

    I'm not sure this would cause Assura not to appear in the menus, but maybe you've downloaded the wrong Assura version. First of all, I would suggest you install a more recent IC617 - you've got the base version. I'd suggest you install the latest hotfix of IC617 and ASSURA 41:

    That does support RHEL7 and is rather more recent.

    Regards,

    Andrew
