Anyone around here tried to do Monte Carlo simulation in Eldo through ADVance-MS? I'm trying to do instance specific (DEV) variation and have been randomly getting the following message:
# #E Error: (eldo - 1520) Parameter SOMETHING_OR_OTHER found in `Top Spice' # depends directly or undirectly on DEV specification.. # This is not supported yet by ADMS.. # # #E Error Loading Design # #E Simulation failed # #E
Given that it is so blatantly declared that it is not supported, I would give up, but then it works fine and generates correct MC results if I use a simpler testcase. I've been assured by someone at Mentor's support that it should work fine in the latest version 2006.1 which I am using, in spite of the error message. They say there must be another problem in the design that causes the misleading error message to appear. The way I see it is that it sometimes works and sometimes not for larger designs. The same designs work fine if I take out the .MC statement. Anyone encountered this and know what's going on?
