Why is Monte Carlo simulation not Cadence Virtuoso?

I'm running a Monte Carlo simulation in Cadence Virtuoso ADE Assembler, and I receive the following message.

    Not really enough information to go on here. A few questions:

    1. Which IC subversion are you using (Help→About in any Virtuoso window will tell you this)?
    2. What does Setup→Job Setup show (for both the Netlisting and Simulation tabs)
    3. Does this work if you are doing a simple sweep or just Monte Carlo?

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Thank you for your timely response. Unfortunately, I'm unable to post the picture due to a technical error. Below are the responses to your questions

    1. Which IC subversion are you using (Help→About in any Virtuoso window will tell you this)?

    Response: I am using version IC6.1.8-64b.500.35

    2. What does Setup→Job Setup show (for both the Netlisting and Simulation tabs)? 

    Response: for Netlisting Tab: Optimize Single Point run [✓] and Distribution Method is [local]

        for simulation Tab: job control Mode [LSCS] and distribution method is [local]

    3. Does this work if you are doing a simple sweep or just Monte Carlo?

    Response: Only Monte Carlo is not working.
