Alter statement or alternative in ADE explorer?

IC23.1 ISR10.29

Hi,

I'm running an aging analysis using TMI models from TSMC. Using alter statements is a convenient way to run gradual aging or change other parameters through the sim. It works in command line spectre, but I'd like to be able to achieve this within the ADE explorer context, so I can access all my expressions and plot saves and see the impact of aging on my specs.

Using parameters in ADE explorer doesnt work as it starts a completely new sim without regard to the previous condition. Even if I manually edit the netlist to contain the alter statement and press (only) RUN (not netlist and run), the netlist gets recreated and I lose my alter statements.

Is there a way to achieve this in the ADE explorer context?

Regards

You could write (only) your alter statements in a separate textfile and reference it in the Model Library Setup (Setup > Model Libraries) in the Explorer.

Regards,

Matthias

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. It does not work. I did it and the alter statement appears at the top of the netlist, so it alters the simulation before executing the original settings.
