Error during Monte Carlo stimulation

vvdb

I want to run a Monte-Carlo stimulation, but I get the error 'database disk image is malformed'. How can I solve this error?

    My guess is that you filled up the disk (or exceeded your quota) and that you're using an old version, because I've not seen reports of this for some considerable time. However, as suggested in the forum guidelines, it would really help to know:

    1. Which simulator you're using
    2. Which IC version you're help (the sub-version in Help->About is what I'd want to know) and simulator version (you can get this from the simulator log file
    3. Which flavour of ADE (ADE XL, ADE Explorer, ADE Assembler)
    4. Have you checked the disk space and quota to see if you've exceeded them?
    5. Please give the precise error (ideally with an error code) that you're seeing.

    1. I'm using Virtuoso Analog Design Environment

    2. version IC 6.1.7 - 64b.500.15

    3. ADE XL

    4. yes, I still have enough quota

    5. see picture

    If there's no more information in the CIW, all I can suggest is that you try a more recent version - I know there have been a bunch of robustness improvements related to the handling of the "RDB", so checking in the latest IC618 (ISR12) would make sense.

    Other than that, all I can suggest is that you contact customer support. This normally only seemed to happen when the disk filled up (bear in mind that this is typically where the design library is stored, not where the simulation directory is) - these might be on different volumes as often simulation data is transitory and so people allow more space.
