Printing out unconventional process-specific model parameter in ADE

If customer support couldn't help, it's even less likely that anyone can help you here given that we have even less visibility of the issue.

I've no idea what you mean by printing out model parameters that are not device-specific (or why displaying that (whatever it means) would be useful).

Have you got a case number? If so, I can take a look at what has been investigated so far.

For example, let's say there is a model parameter which is like a switch that enables statistical model (let's call it msflag). msflag is not a BSIM model parameter and it is not a MOSFET parameter, but it is defined in the model file to guide the simulator for choosing proper parameter values. The question is can you print these sorts of parameters or check their values somehow? 
Update Case# 46571128

As far as I can see, the case is still open and the AE suggested having a web meeting with you today (I didn't see a reply to that offer). The case was only filed today.

I won't try to duplicate work that is in progress, and advise you to keep this up with customer support.

I rather doubt that this is anything to do with some parameter in the subckt wrappers around the underlying model, but I think you can save that info using the allparameters choice on the Outputs->Save All (in the "Save circuit information analysis"). Most likely you're just including the wrong model files/sections and not including the right statistical parameters for the PDK you're using.

I replied and we had the meeting that ended an hour ago.

I am following the procedure that pdk recommends for choosing the model files/sections. They are actually very similar between 40 nm and 28 nm and the 28 nm works like a charm. 

I did what you said and it worked. It did printed out the parameters that I wanted. The spectre output shows that 

totalflag_mos = 0
globalflag_mos = 1
mismatchflag_mos = 1

So I can confirm that I chose the models and sections properly and this is exactly the condition that pdk recommends for the global MC simulation. 

The MC simulation doesn't work though. Any other suggestion beside contacting the pdk vendor is highly appreciated.

I'm not going to repeat what is being handled by customer support - so please continue to work with support and the foundry (not sure why contacting the PDK vendor is a problem). It's not a scalable solution to have an application working on something and me look at it too (I do this in my spare time, and there's only a finite amount of spare time, so repeating work that somebody else is already trying to do in support when they have greater visibility of the precise PDK, setup and environment than I do makes no sense).

Thanks, I will contact the pdk vendor.
