Hi all,
I need to do some *fast* simulations of a mixer and after long searching I found out that the most stable is to do an ENV of the transient where some bias voltages settle (under LO pump, though), then use PAC right after.
I was quite pleased to find out today of this possiblity, I knew only PSS would allow this kind of simulation (but then its tstab transient would be quite long).
However, to set up this PAC after ENV, one has to open the 'options' window of the ENV, navigate to the 'Misc' tab, and here set two fields:
pactimes --> the time(s) at which you want a pac to be performed
pacnames --> the name of the pac(s) simulation(s)
now, I use ADEXL from the GUI, I am therefore not aware of any way of modifying the name of a simulation. For me, a PAC simulation has always 'pac' as name. From the fact that you can define multiple times, I gather that you could in principle run multiple PACs as well...but how to implement that is for me a complete mistery.
Anyways, I set the string 'pac' under 'pacnames' and that works.
Only for single point simulations, though.
I have to do MonteCarlo. For this, I get an error from the ENV itself, saying :
'The analysis `pac' cannot be referenced by multiple analyses'
So...from one ENV to the next, but not even for the first indeed, the 'nameforming' gets wrong.
I have no idea whatsoever how to tackle this. Probably some 'pre-running script' defining a name and then passing it?
Please, please help me with this, I am in desperate need for a solution fast!
Thank you,
Michele
