Printing out unconventional process-specific model parameter in ADE

Hi,

Let's say you are performing a simple DC simulation of an inverter with 2 transistors in ADE. Is there anyway you can print out certain model parameters in the Spectre's output log file which are not device-specific (i.e, the model parameters that impact simulation results but are not directly used in the 2 transistor's models). * Enabling extremeinfo doesn't help. 

My problem is that when I do simple Monte Carlo DC simulation in ADE-XL (I am sure ADE-XL settings are ok.), after finishing the simulation, I see no variation in the outputs!!! I believe that I have set the model files properly but I feel this is the most probable source of problem). It seems the simulator doesn't make any changes in mismatch parameters and a unique output is generated. Note that I can change the corner (tt-->ss etc.) and the result change as expected but MC doesn't work. I am using TSMC40.  I tried different virtuoso and spectre versions, but no luck. It works fine though with other pdks e.g., TSCM28. 

So I was hoping to get more inside by printing some flag parameters. Is it possible?

Note that I have talked to customer support and they couldn't find the source of the problem.
