Changing the parameter inside model file for creating multiple corner cases.

Hi All,

I wish to seeks some advise on performing multiple simulations using ADE-XL. I have to vary a parameter inside the model file whose value changes from 1 to 5. It is a switch provided inside the model file.

Is there a way to add these 5 cases (i.e. changing the value of the switch from 1 to 5) as corners inside ADE-XL so as to simulate all these 5 cases in one go ?

My present corner setup looks as shown below with 9 corners already setup. I need to simulate the above 5 cases at each of these 9 corners i.e. I need to change the value of the switch from 1 to 5 inside the model file at each of the below 9 corners.

Any hints will be great help.

regards

    If there's some variable that can be set from ADE, you can either add that variable into the corners and set up the value in each corner as 1:1:5 (from 1 to 5 in steps of 5). That means that each corner would have 5 sub-corners. Or you could do a sweep of the variable as well as the corners, which would avoid you needing to add the sweep to each corner.

    It's a bit hard to see because your image is very small - and also I don't know how you are expecting to vary this "switch".

    Andrew.

    Thanks for the reply Andrew, I have tried to attached the image. Is this better.

    My experience has been if we click on the image then it pops up as a clear image.

    It was sharp, but small (yes, I know about clicking on it). So it's not any better. However, that's not really the crux of the issue - I'm not sure how you're expecting to vary this "switch" you refer to.
