command "sevRun" or "sevRunEngine"

 Hi,

    i know that if you start analogArtist from schematic composer, the current schematic will be loaded as the current design in analogArtist, and I noticed that the analog-Artist use the command "sevRun" or "serRunEngine" to start a simulation,  and i am trying my own simulation method, like the "paramAnalysis", but  i found that when i put the sevRunEngine in my own procedure, it always prompts that "Need to select design before issuing this command" in CIW, and then i used the command "sevChooseDesign()", but this can't work well either. so here i want to make sure two points:

 1,  how to apply sevRun or sevRunEngine correctly, what's the necessary condition, such as a design?

 2,  for one thousand(this is a random value which depend on the input matrix) times parameter simulation, especially for only one parameter, what is the best way? i intend to use a loop in skill function "myOwnSim()", and in this function, i can calculate some equations. i think this way is more convenient than paramAnalysis

 welcome to any discussions,

Regards,

zfeng

     Hi,

       you have met this problem too, i think we use the function sevRun or sevRunEngine in a wrong way. For me, i just want to start the simulation by push my own menu bar, i do have done this, but it start the default run function like user push the run button in analogArtist winidow, what i really want to do can be discribed in three steps

    1, design circuit (normal work)

    2, start the analogArtist, choose the design , assign value to variable, choose analysis and output, finally run the simulation

    3,change a specified design variable value (assign a new value)  and re-simulate, the new values are all stored in a file,we need to simulate all the new values with this same design(other design varibale has no change). i want to build this method in a user menu, so i don't apply the parametric analysis tools here,

    about your problem,  i can't understand what's this meaning (option +query=tokenlic). as you mentioned, you defined your menu or button in ADE window, and copy the callback function in the spectre.menus, i want to make sure that if you add the copied function(from the original spectre.menus) to your button callback function directly or not,

    the run menu item callback functin like this (in spectre.menus)

    ("Run" ?callback (sevRun ',session) ?disable (or (sevNoEnvironment ',session) (asiGetStatus (sevEnvironment ',session))))

     i add the following line in my own menu item, it can work well

    ("myRun" ?callback (sevRun ',session) ?disable (or (sevNoEnvironment ',session) (asiGetStatus (sevEnvironment ',session))))

    so i think you can refer to my method. i also have a question about the following lines

    "But if I copy the entire "Run" submenu button from "Simulation" menu, to be submenu in my custom menu, now when I type the newly created button "Run" simulation runs normally." what's this mean?
