Hello Cadence help,
In virtuoso ICADVM20.1 Assembler:
I am currently running a transient simulation with actimes populated (several time indexes), that is linked to an sp simulation (acnames=[sp]). The said sp simulation is setup to generate an output file "myfile.s2p".
The problem is that although several sp simulation are run (one per time index), only one sp output file is created.I would like for an output sp file to be created per each actimes time index.
I may be able to get around this problem by using corners where actimes is parametrized using a design variable, but even if that would work it force me to run the same transient simulation for as many transient indexes that I have. Assuming that I had 100 time indexes, I would end up running the same transient simulation 100 times .... which will make for a very top-heavy simulation. Is there to generate N sp output files, but only running once the transient simulation ?
Ideally, I would like for my sp output files to be suffixed with the time index. E.g: myfile.s2p.1.061n, myfile.s2p.1.064n, myfile.s2p.1.067n, etc.
Thank you
Frank
