Store results in psf and nutascii (or convert)

SteveVrk

Hello,

I have an external post processing script that needs simulation results in nutascii format.

I can massage ADE L to write results in this format (by disabling everything in "Save All" and adding "-f nutascii -outdir .." in Environment but then the results in ADE L are not shown any more (value is shown as error and they do not show up in Results Browser). Even if, I'd prefer to have psfxl as well since I am running tran, ac and more at once and my post processing script only needs tran outputs in nutascii format.

Is there any way to save the results in both psfxl (or psf) and nutascii format?

Or alternatively, is there a way to convert psf (or psfxl) to nutascii?

Thanks!

  • First of all, I should point out that nutascii is a barely supported output format - there are plenty of analyses that simply do not support it, or write incomplete data. As such, there's no translator from psfxl to nutascii nor any translator to nutascii format.

    There is some support for writing multiple output formats, but this is really intended for the more modern, tested output formats. I did have some success with using:

    -f uwi -uwifmt psfxl:nutascii

    but I did find that some of the analyses cause spectre to crash if you do this (e.g. I had a crash when writing dcOpInfo data). If you're writing simple data (e.g. transient) then it seems to work OK though.

    If however you only want to write nutascii for the transient analysis, I don't think that's possible. So maybe give it a try but if it doesn't work - sorry!

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you very much! That nearly worked. As you suggested, it crashed.

    I decided to abandon the nutascii part and use CSV as input.

    When using ADE XL, what is the best way to add a (MATLAB) post processing script and supply results via CSV?

    Ideally, I would like to include this script in the normal ADE XL flow, without having to execute something outside.

    Thanks again!

    EDIT: I found it, "Virtuoso ADE MATLAB Integration"
