How do I sweep a simulator option parameter (gmin, vabstol, rforce,...) in ADE Explorer / XL?

HI all,

I'm trying to optimize the circuit convergence and I would like to sweep parameters  like gmin or rforce, which are defined in the simulator option card.

How I could do it? Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

    A slightly odd thing to do, but you can set the gmin or rforce in the Simulation->Options->Analog to (say) VAR("GMIN") or VAR("RFORCE") and then you'll have a design variable in ADE called GMIN or RFORCE that you can then sweep. It will automatically create the variable - you have to supply the default value or sweep condition.

    Andrew.
