EM/IR Analysis Setup missing from ADE L menu

yyama

I'm trying to start EMIR analysis by looking at the example that's in:

<MMSIMinstDir>/tools/spectre/examples/EMIR_workshop/mmsim141_emir_workshop/ade_mmsim_voltus_workshop

However, I found that EM/IR Analysis Setup is missing from ADE L menu. Therefore, I can't go further on GUI based EMIR flow.

I've already checked the followings:

1) Successfully I've completed text based EM/IR flow workshop which is in <MMSIMinstDir>/tools/spectre/examples/EMIR_workshop/mmsim141_emir_workshop/textonly_workshop.

    Thus, I believe my modification on the environment variable such as MMSIMHOME and CDSHOME is correct.

2) As default, there is a description "setenv MMSIM_ADE_EMIR true" in the file, setup_ade_mmsim_voltus.csh.

    It seems that this description is for setting EM/IR Analysis in ADE L to be enable.

Can anyone please help me with this situation?

I'd like to visualize IR drop easily via GUI based EMIR flow rather than text based EMIR flow...

    Hi,

    There is a Rapid Adoption Kit (RAK) on Voltus-Fi EMIR flow which will take you through the GUI based flow. If you didn't find the EMIR form in ADE, it means you are on an old  IC version. Can you confirm which versions of IC and MMSIM are you using?

    Here's the pointer to the RAK:

    Hi,

    The versions I use are as follows.

    • IC06.16.005
    • MMSIM14.10.896

    Are they too old to use the EMIR form in ADE?

    Hi,

    I can see the EMIR form in ADE with IC6.1.6-64b.500.7, but not with IC6.1.6-64b.500.3. I don't have all intermediate releases available to test I'm afraid, but it seems you are using a release very close but before the form was made available. IC616 is in general quite old now, can you move to IC617?

    Actually, Andrew just checked that EMIR form was introduced in IC6.1.6-64b.500.7. But I will suggest you move to the latest IC and Spectre (MMSIM) versions if possible to be able to access all new EMIR flow features (and avoid issues that may have existed earlier).

    Hi,

    Thank you very much for your help.

    I will move to the latest IC and Spectore(MMSIM) so that I will be able to see the EMIR from in ADE.
