$finish_current_analysis in verilogA

Svilen64

Hi,

I am using a verilogA block in my simulation and it includes the statement $finish_current_analysis to stop the simulation when the event I am interested in happens. It works correctly if I simulate a single run in the Explorer. However, if I try to run Monte-Carlo simulations (still from within the Explorer) it seems the simulations don't stop. All MC runs are listed as "running" in the results window of the Explorer. Interestingly, if I open the spectre.log file for any of the MC runs I can see there that the simulations have actually finished at the time the event has happened. Bottom line, since the MC runs don't really quit I can't get my expression results and the statistics for that.
Maybe I am missing something about the use of that $finish statement in the context of MC simulations. Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Svilen

  • Svilen,

    I can imagine that it might move into the next Monte Carlo iteration, but I would expect that it works OK beyond that - so I wouldn't expect the Monte Carlo to stop. I don't have time today to test this out by putting together a test case - the best thing would be to contact customer support, as maybe there's a bug here...
