Saving oppoint for transistor in Spectre not working from Modelfile?

yayla

Hi,

I want to save oppoint(Vdsat, Vds) for transistor in Spectre but the problem is that when I add save.scs file into ModelFile under Setup, I cannot see the results in results browser. However, if I open netlist(input.scs) and write the lines(inside save.scs) to save part of input.scs, I can find the results under Result Browser(which is described here www.cadence.com/.../3704.aspx )

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

My setup information is 

o IC 5.10.41.500.6.143.

o Cadence Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator Version 10.1.1.200

 Thanks,

yayla

 

  •  Hi,

    An update to the previous problem: I don't know how but it seems that modelfile way has started to work with same settings and files.

    Regards,

  • Yayla,

    If you edit the model file outside of Virtuoso (i.e. not using the edit button on the Model Libraries form), ADE doesn't know that you've changed it - and since normally spectre is run in "interactive" mode, it will not re-start because it doesn't think anything changed.

    Hitting Simulation->Stop should force it to restart spectre and hence re-read the netlist.

    Andrew.
