Check and Asserts in Monte-Carlo

Same problem here.  Any solution?

This is a long-standing restriction; partly on the Spectre side and partly in ADE. It's mentioned in the ADE Assembler User Guide in the Performing Circuit and Device Checks chapter:

The Monte Carlo Sampling, Improve Yield, and High Yield Estimation run modes do not consider circuit and device checks. Therefore, you need to disable Checks/Asserts on the Data View assistant pane before running simulations for these run modes.

There is a Cadence Change Request #1685577 for this. Please contact customer support (use the Case menu to submit a support case) and request that a duplicate is filed on your behalf to increase the likelihood that this is addressed sooner rather than later.

Andrew Beckett ,   Sir,  I've used Virtuoso since 4.3.4  -  almost every single work day for more than 30 years.   I've never had the privilege to interact with you until now.  What an honor!     Thank you for the response.

Technically now,  what I find odd is that the log files indicate they run asserts and I DO see the results in the psf directories... so it seems that spectre runs them- but Assembler just cant display them I guess.  (?)

Thanks again!  Much appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyway, I suspect (and I didn't check carefully the full reason) that Spectre may not be quite writing the data in the way that ADE expects across Monte Carlo - but it's equally possible that the Spectre side has been resolved by now and that ADE hasn't caught up on the fact.

If I had a little more time in the coming week I'd do some experiments and prod it along myself, but unfortunately my plate is a little full at the moment (sorry!)

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks again!!
