Ultrasim does not converge with BSIMBULK model

Hello,

I am using ultrasim Version 18.1.0.314.isr5  64bit 03/26/2019 06:33 (csvcm20c-2).

When I run my netlist, ultrasim is blocked in the first DC stage and takes forever. Then it will fail or never progress. I am using a 22nm BSIMBULK model. I tried to tune different accuracy and convergence aids options but noting works.

 When I run the same netlist with spectre it works fine with no problem.

Also, If I use another model (not BULKSIM), ultrasim will work and converge with no problem.

My first feeling is that ultrasim has a problem with using BSIMBULK model.

Could you please advice,

Thank you,

Kotb
