ADE Explorer - Simulation job was suspended - Corrupted the results .rdb

I have a setup, where an external script will suspend low priority simulation runs, from time to time, based on license requirement within our team.

Often this works as a charm. But sometimes, a suspended run shows up as 'running' or 'sim err', even though the simulation has finished. See atttached screen shots from the ADE and the logfiles from the same runs.

All the data is available in the result folder, with all the psf seemingly correct (waveform data can be plotted from the Results Browser). However, I cannot perform any calculations on this database, and all my calculation are reported as 'sim err' or 'running'. Clicking the Update Results, doesn't do anything, pointing to the results of Explorer.0, using Results -> Select... doesn't help either.

Firstly, what has most likely happend in this case? Is the .rdb file within the maestro view corrupted, or is there some other explanations?

Secondly, is there a way to perform 'new' calculations on the resulting PSF, or somehow make the ADE perform the calculations correctly?

Br,

Christian

Have you tried selecting "Partial Data" (https://support.cadence.com/apex/techpubDocViewerPage?path=Explorer/ExplorerIC6.1.8/chap11.html#pgfId-1018006)?

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your input. I had tried selecting a full re-evaluation, however on all data. I just tried doing it, with the partial data, and Cadence crashed (!).
I wanna stress that I am working with a fairly large amount of outputs, shy of 1500 calculations (Large circuit, with a lot of identical calculations at multiple locations within the circuit), which is both why I would like ADE to do the calculations instead of manually going to the calculator and pointing to the result PSF, but also, I suspect, why it crashed just now.

Any other inputs are very welcome.

Hi Christian,

Please contact customer support. There are some cases where the status gets stuck and we have some code to fix this (it's possible that the newer "LSCS" rather than "ICRP" mode might help here too, but I don't know for certain). Either way, understanding better what is going on in your specific case will help and we can then give more focused advice.

Regards,

Andrew.
