How to backannotate Monte-Carlo DCOP simulation results to schematic

eivan

Hello,

My design breaks over some iterations at Monte-Carlo sim and I need to investigate the issue and see what is broken in the schematics. I can run the single Monte-Carlo sample sim that causes the circuit to break, but I can not find a way to backannotate the DCOP to schematics, the annotation menus are grayed out. When I run a single corner sim I can still do the backannotation, but with Monte-Carlo it does not work for some reason. Is there a way to do backannotation of Monte-Carlo results?

Our company is still using ADE L/XL, not the Explorer/Assembler.

    On the Monte Carlo options form, ensure that "Save Data to All Family Plots" is selected; otherwise it discards the result databases needed to perform the annotation (you need to also switch to the detail view rather than just the yield view):

    That worked, thank you, Andrew!
