Virtuoso ADE SKILL Reference ICADVM20.1: calcVal on a transient expression does not work

NewScreenName

Hi all,

I am trying to use calcVal to get a reference waveform in subsequent tests (i.e. I have a test "ref" performing tran analysis, and following a "test2" test performing the same, but with noise enabled) so to compare it in the two situations and be able to apply some functions like the delay between the same waveform from "test2" and from "ref". Only one corner is enabled

I have read the documentation here https://support.cadence.com/apex/techpubDocViewerPage?path=maeSKILLref%2FmaeSKILLrefICADVM20.1%2Fmeasures.html#calcVal and from example1 reported after the description of calcVal it seems to me I am doing exactly the same thing, you can see the full test setup in the picture below:

I have calcVal("test_vt" "ref"), where test_vt is VT("/inv_out") in "ref" test. However once I simulate, and try to plot calcVal("test_vt" "ref") I get the following error:

What is wrong here? 

Version used is ICADVM20.1-64b.500.28

Thank you

Best regards

  • Please contact customer support (submit a support case after logging in). I found two reports of similar issues - one was unreproducible and the other was supposedly fixed by changing the evalType to sweeps and using ?getFirstSweepPoint t - neither of which seemed like suitable solutions to me even in the case I found.
