Increasing the Simulation Step Time for 1 ns..?

 Hi,

 

May i know how to run the simualtion for 1ns step. i gave it but as the inpurt is changing for fs etc., range - its again doing for20 fs or ps etc., but forcefully i wantthe simulator to calculate for 1ns interval - may i know how to do that - 

 

plz let me know as my circuit has 10 lakh nodes and taking 10 days for simulaiton.

 

regards

Sunil

    There is no way to set the minimum time step - only max time step can be specified by the user. This is to ensure that the simulation results are correct. A simulator would automatically try to maximize the time step for optimum performance. You have set the print time step as 1ns, and have inadvertently made the simulation much slower than it would be for default settings. You should remove this setting, and the one for max time step. Run the simulation with default settings - it should definitely be faster than the current run. Regards, Abha
