Simulation of Reliability (RelXpert) with MC

FormerMember
FormerMember over 1 year ago

Hello Everyone, 

I am trying to run a reliability simulation on HCI with the MC cases set as simulation corners. I am sweeping the aging from 20d to 2Years. 

For that I created 3 test benches and specified Fresh/Stress/Aged. When the simulation goes for Aged testbench test cancels and this message comes up:

spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error.

ERROR (SPECTRE-16372): Cannot bind captab info analysis to `montecarlo' analysis. Remove the captab info analysis option and rerun the simulation.

I have no idea how I should deal with it or it's even possible to run these two simulations simultaneously. 

Thanks for your consideration. 

Saeid

Additional info: 

Spectre: Ver231

Virtuoso: ICADVM 20.1-64b.500.31

    Can you please share the analysis part of the input.scs from the run where it fails, together with the precise Spectre sub-version (at the top of the log file)? I can find a number of reports of captab issues within Monte Carlo but my quick test of doing this with reliability analysis worked fine - so it may be a very specific issues.

    The workaround is to turn off the captab options (probably on the DC or Transient analysis options forms) - but I'd like to understand what conditions it's failing in.
