Plotting temperature in a transient simulation

Quantum7
Quantum7 over 5 years ago

I am running ic6.1.7-64b.500.23 and i am using ADE XL. 

I am changing dynamic parameter, a temperature, during transient simulation, and that works well for me. However, after sims are done and i plot signals, how do i plot temperature vs time? 

already tried all save options, tried seeing if i can find temperature in results browser, no luck. ideas?

    I seen that post already.

    I did:

    ADE XL-->Outputs-->Save All, then on the bottom there was "Save circuit information analysis" i added new raw:

    name=temp, what=all, enabled=yes

    sim ran, opened results browser, don't see temperature..

    That's not what I said - I mentioned there that you need to use the Save by Subckt tab. I thought that appeared during IC617, but it seems I was mistaken - it was added in IC618 ISR3.

    So for the version you're using, you'll have to use the approach taken in this post instead.

    The way you did it won't work. That's just saving a result database called "temp" from an info analysis, which is not what I was saying.

    OK, i created file "savetemp.scs", with one line "save temp"

    then i added and included it in ADE XL-->Setup-->Model Libraries, reran simulation. unfortunately still dont see temp, where am i supposed to plot it from? im checking results browser and don't see anything related to temp

    Look in the results browser, under the "tran" results. At the top level you should now see a signal called "temp" which you can plot.

    that is exactly where i am looking, and there is no "temp" to plot, there are all my signals etc, but nothing "temp" related.

    did i miss some intermediate step maybe?
