Question regarding running parametric simulations using Ocean

gurusub

 Hi all,

I have a set of design variables in my schematic. I would like to input multiple data vectors to my schematic and save the output data in Ocean

For example, If P is a set of parameters P={p1,p2,p3,p4} (p1-p4 are the design variables in the schematic). I would create a matrix of data values with different instances of P ie my data matrix would look like 

Q=[-------P1---------

     --------P2---------

    ---------P3--------]

and so on where each Pi contain (p1i, p2i,p3i,p4i). (In other words I want to use the analogus of paramset command in Spectre for ocean). I would like to simulate my circuit for these values in Q and make some measurements using Calculator function and finally store the output data in the text file. Can somebody please go through the steps in accomplishing the same?

 

Thanks,

 

Guru

    I tried this out in IC6.10 and it works very well. Btw the IC6.10 oceanref documentation has no reference to the ?sweepType parameter (or perhaps I missed it?) Scenario: ======= I'm now using this command to build nested sweeps. For example: I have a circuit with range of switches that has to toggle over the entire set, and then I sweep this for different capacitances, over some temperature range. In any case, this command works quite well for my scenario. Problem: ======= The only problem I'm having is that, since that selectResuts('tran) v("node") returns family of waves, I cannot seem to plot the waveforms using awvPlotWaveform(..). It seems that one has to revert to using the ocean plot(..) function. Personally I don't really prefer using the plot(..) function. I also need the re-group the family of waves back into the respective nested sweep sets. Question: ======= Is there a way the extract a waveform from the family of waves and then use awvPlotWaveform(..) ?
