Set Monto Carlo Options With Skill For a Maestro View

FM202408077836

Hi,

I want to set the Monte Carlo options with Skill for a maestro view in ADE Explorer (IC6.1.8-64b.500.27). I found this mae function to set the number of points:


maeSetRunOption("Monte Carlo Sampling" "mcnumpoints" "10" ?session MaeID)


The function only contains the options mcmethod and mcnumpoints. But I want to set the other options too (seed, variation, enable save data) and enable the Monte Carlo Sampling in the view. I had a look at the other mae functions, but I didn't find any to set them.


Can someone help me please?

  • There is an old CCR which is asking for the very limited set of options to be expanded (CCR 1615539). You should contact customer support and request that a duplicate is filed. We're also missing a maestro API to get the value (CCR 2609044).

    First of all, the "variation" is the "mcmethod" option (rather confusingly). It can be set to "all", "process" and "mismatch" (note lowercase despite the UI showing the first letter as uppercase).

    For the others you can use:

    sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(MaeID)
    handle=axlPutRunOption(sdb "Monte Carlo Sampling" "montecarloseed")
    axlSetRunOptionValue(handle "567") ; note, I see relatively little benefit in changing the seed - why are you doing this?
    handle=axlPutRunOption(sdb "Monte Carlo Sampling" "saveallplots")
    axlSetRunOptionValue(handle "1") ; "1" is on, "0" is off.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you very much for your fast answer. Your code works perfectly. I saw the axl functions before but didn't know that they can be used to manipulate maestro views. I used the function below to enable the Monte Carlo Sampling in the view.

    axlSetCurrentRunMode(sdb "Monte Carlo Sampling")
