how to plot dynamic parameter "temp"

Dear sjwprcker,

I have defined a dynamic parameter "temp" in a tran simulation. 

I wish to  make an expression in the output setup. However, temp seems only available in the data browser as a variable, which is only one default value. 

Is there any way to plot dynamic parameter "temp"?

temp is a reserved term in Spectre and should not be used as a design variable. This is outlined in the Troubleshooting article

under the Q&A item "Can I use temp as a design variable name in ADE?"

This same article also answers your previous question concerning the different between "nom" and "temp" when used as a dynamic parameter,

As to how to plot the temperature as a function of time in a transient simulation where temperature is a dynamic parameter, you might find the note at URL:

helpful. This describes a couple of ways  to include the simulation temperature as an output. Once it is defined as an output, one can plot it using ViVA. An example is provided that I hope will clarify the process. I originally provided this in response to the Forum post on 8/17/2022 at:

Perfect answer, thanks a lot!

Dear sjwprcker,

Great! I am just happy to read that at least I understood your question correctly! Thanks for letting us know!
