Referencing a calculated CDF parameter of a resistor/capacitor model in an expression

A1vis

Hi all.

I want to use the resistance and capacitance of resistors and capacitors in my circuit to get a rough approximation of its poles. My pdk does contain a read-only CDF property in the "Edit Object Properties" form that gives a calculated result based on other inputted parameter such as width and lengh, but I don't know how to reference it in the expression.

So I'd like to ask how this calculated value can be incorporated in an expression, or taking a step back, can I reference the independent variables like width and length?

I found this which seems to be helpful, however I can only use either the MP or pv function with the MOSFET model, and I didn't figure out how to save the resistor/capacitor model.

    Running a dc analysis with "save dc operating point" MIGHT produce a result, but that at least would require an extra simuation.
