How to use SpectreX in AMS (Xceilum+Spectre) simulation

Hi all, in normal simulation, I can enable SpectreX by adding "+preset=cx" in "ADEL -> Setup -> Environment -> User Command-Line Options", While in AMS ADEL, I can't find this filed in "environment" form, how can I use SpectreX in AMS simulation? thank you!

    Well, your first mistake is to be using ADE L which is not supported with Spectre X. In fact ADE L is end-of-lifed, so you should be using ADE Explorer instead; in ADE Explorer this can easily be set via Setup→High Performance Simulation where there's a checkbox to enable Spectre X.

    If you really have to use ADE L (there are very few scenarios where this might be the case still), then this can be achieved by using Simulation→Options→AMS Simulator, and then click on the Additional Arguments button at the bottom of the form, add an entry (with argument type set to "spectre") and add the +preset=cx there.
