Title: Cadence ADEXL: how to merge troubleshot point with rest of montecarlo data
Post by spectrallypure on Aug 27^th, 2013, 12:19pm

Hello! I am having problems plotting the histograms of my monte carlo runs. Sometimes (I suspect due to license timeouts) the simulation of some points in the run "kind of" fails (i.e., they are not flagged as failed, but all their associated evaluated/measured quantities are zero!). These points lead to wrong histograms, since the zero values are taken into account for the plotting.
However, if after the whole monte carlo run is over I use the option "(right-click) Troubleshoot point" on these failed points, they run fine. The problem is that the troubleshot results for these points are not integrated with the rest of the monte carlo run, so I still get ill histograms. So my question is, how can I tell adexl to merge the troubleshot points' results with the rest of the original results, so as to replace the old zero-valued entries?

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas/comments.

Cheers,

Jorge.

P.S. I naively attempted to fool adexl by manually copying the troubleshot results into the old point's data directory, but it didn't work; I guess I'm still lacking a way to make adexl reload the data from the disk... how could I force this? (yes, I tried closing everything and reopening, but it doesn't seem to read the overwritten data!).
