Hello, I am using an ST PDK ("ArtistKit") and I want to run a SIMPLE sim with local variations turned on. What I mean is that in a SINGLE RUN in ADE L, when I have two identical Common Source stages, the outputs should be different. I want to handle/plot the data entirely in ADE L. Now I configured every single parameter that has to do with "Monte Carlo", "statistical" but if I run from ADE L the outputs of the 2 CS stages are just always identical, meaning that randomness to the transistors is applied and hence local variations do not work. Instead now if I open ADE XL, load the ADE state from there and import the corners (as outlined in the documentation) it WORKS! But ONLY if I choose Run -> Monte Carlo Sampling (and as a workaround enter 1 Run). It does NOT work if I choose Run -> Single Run. Looking in the output log I see: Warning from spectre during Monte Carlo analysis `mc1'. WARNING (SPECTRE-16006): mc1: Redundant monte carlo analysis was encountered. Neither scalar data nor waveform data will be saved. This means that spectre must be aware that it is called in "mote carlo" mode and triggers the randomness of the models. I do not like ADE XL, it is bloated, hard to understand and I just don't get why things don't work (for example, it does not save my output traces). All I want is to have a single run with statistics enabled in ADE L (or, for that matter, a batch run started through . /runSimulation ). How can this be accomplished? Thanks!
