button of "re-evaluate results" doesn't reflect changes in assembler/ade-xl

Dear monglebest,

Situation 1: my simulation failed for somereason (disk full and hence the table shows the simulation status is "running") and hence I use the command under netlist/runSimulation to re-run the simulation in linux terminal(after disk is cleaned), but the button in ade-xl/assembler cannot reflect the latest data after the correct simulation is done (the table box sitll shows "running"). How can I have the ade-xl/assembler to refelct the updated data from psfxl files?

I do not believe this it is possible to use the "Re-evaluate results..." evaluation option in Assembler after you re-ran the simulation that did not complete from the Linux terminal. I filed a case on this issue some time ago. The basic issue is that Assembler uses the main psf data directory of a database to access the simulation results located in each individual psf directory for the simulation database. However, when you ran the simulation from the individual netlist directory using its input scs and runSimulation command line, the main psf directory was not updated to reflect that the results for that specific case are complete and valid. A way to use that option for a simulation set that does not complete correctly, is to right click on the database from the History tab and choose the Re-run Unfinished/Error Points option. This will copy over the database and re-run those individual simulations that did not complete correctly and update the main psf directory. In Figure 1, I circled the Re-run Unfinished/Error Points option and also an example of the new database created from the unfinished simulation set Interactive.13. I hope this helps monglebest!

Situation 2: I have a skill code updated (using "load" command in CIW) for calculator expression and then click the yellow button, want to have the table in ade-xl/assembler to reflect my latest skill code changes, but the evaluation fails or keeps the old skill code results. I have to re-run the simulation in ade-xl/assembler to have the table updated. How can I avoid re-run the simulation to have the data updated correctly in the table?

If you are referring to the example you noted where you manually re-ran the incomplete simulation, you will not be able to evaluate the result for that incomplete simulation as the main database is not aware it is complete. Or, are you referring to the use of new skill code for a completed simulation set? If the latter, perhaps your new skill code is not being applied to the correct test. Note that the outputs in Assembler are all assigned to a particular test. I'm not 100% clear, I am afraid, of the speciifcs of your second situation - sorry!
