APS/Spectre simulation data too big

enzhu

Hi All,

I remember we have an option to select less data point to reduce the simulation file size? For example, the real simulation runs 10 point, but we can configure it to save only one point from the 10 points. 

If you happen to remember how to set this up, please let me know. 

Thanks.

    Hi Andrew,

    Several ways to achieve this. One is to use the transient option skipcount which does exactly what you want (skipcount=10). Another approach would be to use strobeperiod which asks the simulator to output a solved result at a regular period - even if it takes more points inside the simulator.

    That said, you should consider using a recent IC617 subversion together with SPECTRE161 ISR14 or later, or SPECTRE171 ISR4 or later, and picking the "psfxl" output format on Outputs->Save All in ADE. This uses a new lossless compression for data saved in PSF XL format (such as large transient results) - might be a good way of reducing your file size without losing any data.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
