Assembler evaluating disabled outputs

AncisMichele
AncisMichele over 1 year ago

Hi,

according to my "flow", I tend to have tests in Assembler with associated multiple analyses.

I often do not want/need to have all analyses in a test to be run. For instance, I might be exploring in more detail some DC conditions and only need the corresponding analysis, while I want to leave out some HB or NOISE.

I also have outputs set for plotting and of course these can be relative to any of the analyses in the test. I then switch off those outputs relative to analyses I am not currently running, in order to avoid that "eval err" notification in the results pane.

However, I noticed that, no matter what I do, the CIW keeps complaining about a bunch of  errors about results that can't be computed. This, despite their relative output being ticked off.

I find this both confusing and annoying and I would like to understand whether this is the result of some misuse I am doing of the tool, or perhaps there's a configuration that can be changed in order to avoid Assembler trying to evaluate something which has been explicitly switched off.

Lately I am grouping my outputs in OCEAN files, so that I can switch on/off outputs as groups instead of ticking them off one by one.

Still, the outcome is the same: Assembler keeps trying to evaluate the OCEAN script(s), and gives an ERROR because the elements defined there are not available.

I'm running ICADVM20.1-64b.500.300

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Michele
