how to append the output data to previous file

hi all

i try extracting capacitance using captab

but when i sweep multiply, the output table from captab is not overwrited

and new output data is generated

is there any method to overwrite output data to previous one?

thanks in advance

    It's unclear what you actually want here. The title asks "how to append the output data to previous file". Well, that's what it does right now (at least with SPECTRE19.1 - you didn't mention what version you're using). I get a single file capnode_b which has sections for each sweep point - showing the capacitance tables for each.

    Later you're asking how to overwrite the data. I don't believe this is possible, but I can't see why you'd ever want that since the previous sweeps would be pointless. You can give each a unique name by specifying file="capnode_b_%A" (%A will be replaced by the nested analysis name).

    BTW, the infoname=capinfo on the first sweep is an incorrect parameter for a sweep analysis, and this will be ignored by Spectre.
