ADE Explorer Design Variables sweep sets

nfathy over 1 year ago

Hello,

I am using ICADVM20.1, is there a way to simulate with ADE Explorer GUI a specific design variable sweep set?

For example, I have these variables

Va = 1 2 3.3

Vb = 1.2 2.4 2.8 2.9

In a single run, I need to simulate these combinations only:

{Va=1, Vb=1.2}, {Va=1, Vb=2.4}, {Va=1, Vb=2.9}, {Va=2, Vb=2.4}, {Va=2, Vb=2.8}, {Va=1, Vb=2.9}, {Va=3.3, Vb=1.2}, {Va=3.3, Vb=2.4}, {Va=3.3, Vb=2.8}, {Va=3.3, Vb=2.9}

I am not interested in running the other combinations. This is just an example, my real case is further complicated, but I need to know if this is possible using Explorer GUI.

Many thanks in advance.

This is called a Parametric Set in Virtuoso ADE, see https://support.cadence.com/apex/techpubDocViewerPage?path=Explorer/ExplorerIC23.1/chap5.html#pgfId-1008621 or https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1O0V000007Mpa4UAC

Indeed Frank's suggestion is one of the approaches I was going to suggest. There are a couple of approaches you could take, in fact.

One is to use Simulation→Run Preview in Explorer and then click the orange button with a circular arrow in at the top left, and you can then uncheck the combinations you don't want to run.

The second is to use parametric sets (i.e. Frank's suggestion). You'd need to repeat values:

Va: 1,1,1,2,2,1,3.3,3.3,3.3.3,3

Vb: 1.2,2.4,2.9,2.4,2.8,2.9,1.2,2.4,2.8,2.9

and select both variables and use Right Mouse->Group as Parametric Set.

It will then simulate the corresponding pairs of Va and Vb rather than every combination.
