Need a solution to build pre-computed look-up table manually

$

Hello.

Recently, I read 'Systematic Design of Analog CMOS Circuits', which describes how to apply pre-computed look-up table.

Look-up table is 4-D DCOp table e.g. ID(L, VGS, VDS, VSB) gm(L, VGS, VDS, VSB)...

The book provided look-up table generation tool, and that requires Spectre MATLAB toolbox.

Because I access Cadence through Unix server, and I cannot use MATLAB on the server, I cannot apply that method, so I decided to make look-up table manually.

The method I chose is that...

1. Turn on ADE-L, and run multiple DC parametric analyses at once.

2. Export them as .csv

3. Organize them manually.

(I am a cadence beginner...)

There are many problems I encounter, but the main is that...

Parametric Analyses suddenly comet to a halt without error.

No error message. No freezing. Just halt(pause and continue does not work).

I use multiple duplicated schematics to separate directories.

The fundamental problem which cannot be fixed is that I cannot run MATLAB on the server.

So, I should run simulations and export the results.

1. Is there any solution to fix random halt?

2. Is there a better solution for me?

Thank you!
