Start a Sim at Specified Time Point in AMS flow

apogee

In Spectre, we have a feature that: In a sim, I can specify a sim time point to save all the signals value, and next time I can restart the sim at that exact time point if the design is still the same.
Is there a way to do the same thing in AMS flow, either using irun or xrun?

Thanks

    Yes:

    • Save and restart AMS command line simulation
    • How to use the Process Based Save Restart flow in ADE
    • Process Based Save/Restart on Mixed-Signal Design (Video Channel)
    • Process Based Save Restart (AXUM Flow)
    • How to use periodic snapshot with AMS simulator in ADE Explorer and Assembler

    There's a few other resources on support.cadence.com, but these are a few of the first hits (I just searched for "save restart ams")

    Thanks Andrew, I was able to do Save and Restart a sim at a specific TimePoint. I have another question though. Does Cadence allow a change in ade_state variables when using the Save and Restart feature? For example, I run a sim to 2ms and Save and Restart from there; when I restart the sim at 2ms, I want to vary "Delay" variable (being able to do a parametric sweep would be perfect). I would suppose Cadence doesn't allo to do that, since there might be a potential conflict?
