Using ocnxlRun in a loop

Here are two examples of what I'm trying to do:

Example 1:

I have 2 designs that I am trying to simulate.  On design1 I want to simulate resistor corners of 5 and 10 ohms across 30 iterations of monte carlo (no temperature).  On design2 I want to simulate capacitor corners of 1uF and 10uF across 100 iterations of monte carlo with temperature steps of -40C, 27C, and 125C.

In my script I set up design1 simulate and call the ocnxlrun command.  Here the script waits until the simulations for design 1 complete before executing the rest of the script which sets up design 2 and calls ocnxlrun again.  I would like to have the option for the script not to wait on design1’s simulations to finish before submitting the sims for design2.

Example 2:

Sometimes I want to change a variable on each monte carlo iteration.  In cadence 5 I could simply run each monte carlo iteration by itself in a for loop.  So for iteration #1 I would set the variable Vref to 5V, set the monte carlo iteration number to 1, and the number of iterations to run to 1.  Then I would call monteRun, the job would be submitted, and the script would continue on to iteration #2 setup.  For iteration #2 I would set the variable Vref to 4.5V, set the monte carlo iteration number to 2, and the number of iterations to run to 1.  The call the monteRun, the job would be submitted, and the script would continue on to iteration #3 setup…etc…

The reason I was saying functionality has been removed is:  I don't think there is anyway to submit multiple monte carlo jobs from a script in cadence 6, but it was possible in cadence 5.  I may have missed something though in the documentation.  Is there some way to still use the non blocking run when submitting monte carlo jobs?

 Thanks,
