Save state not working with transient monte carlo simulation

Hi,

Can the State File transient option be used in monte carlo simulation? I'm trying to save the states of 10 long transient simulations at a specific time. I'm using specific seed and run numbers in monte carlo sampling to keep the conditions same for the successive runs. But there is no file generated after the simulations are completed.  However, when I enable the Run Nominal Simulation option one file is saved. Is there a way to save the circuit states for only the monte carlo simulations?  Versions I'm using are:  Virtuoso IC6.1.5-64b.500.17 and Spectre 15.1.0.466.isr5.  Thanks.

Regards,

Debajit

    This is not supported. In fact Spectre (in SPECTRE17.1 ISR13 at least - I didn't check whether it's the same in SPECTRE18.1 latest ISR) gives a message:

        WARNING (SPECTRE-16538): Save-restart does not support tran [tran] under another analysis loop.

    Andrew.

    There is an existing enhancement request, CCR 1960656, asking for this, but if you want this you should contact customer support to request that a duplicate CCR is filed on your behalf.

    Andrew.
