hiCreateAppForm: not all filds have 2D attributes specified and or illegal attributes value?

MohEllayali

hello all,

i encountred this issue when running monte carlo sumulation , the simulation runs without any problem but after that i got this excrept 

 

simulation completed successfully.

reading simulation data...

...successful.

Monte Carlo Simulation completed successfully...

Loading stats.cxt

*WARNING* field extent cannot exceed 32767*WARNING* (stringStruct@0xd118d28 (780 36444) (180 25) 60)

*Error* The following error occurred while processing post simulation data.

("error" 0 t nil ("*Error* hiCreateAppForm: not all fields have 2D attributes specified,\n and/or illegal attribute values"))

 

"/home/houfaff/simulation/TESTBENCH_NF_1_DR_6/spectre/schematic"

*WARNING* format: list(r_field x_xpos:x_ypos x_width:x_height [x_promptWidth]

 

can somebody please help with what's going wrong with my simulation ?

 

many thanks

  • This looks like the problem fixed in CCR 259502 - fixed in IC5141 subversion 5.10.41.500.4.59 (I think it was fixed in IC5141 USR4 too). You didn't mention which subversion you were using - that tends to be very helpful information, because it's possible that you're hitting a different problem, maybe. Note that this fix occurred 4 years ago!

    The problem is caused by having a large number of parameters being statistically varied in your technology (in the cases reported it was around 500) - and a form that is built ends up being too large.

  • hi Andrew,

    thank you for your reply, and sorry , i forgot to mention my version !!!

    so i am using this cadence version: 5.10.41_USR5.90.69

    , which is newer than the fixed subversion, so the problem may come from somewhere else

     

    regards

  • How many parameters are there in the statistics block in the model files? 

    What I'd suggest is first to try the latest IC5141 hotfix (since even USR5 is pretty old now), and if that doesn't work, contact customer support to report this.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Thank you Andrew, I will do so and let you know if it fixes the problem.

    By the way, I don't have that many process parameters in the stat section, i have 74 only . but it turned out that when i do mismatch variation only , the problem doesn't show up, but when i do both process and mismatch i got this error , which means that the amount of data get huge and couldn't be handeled by the form.
