Hello everyone! Two questions:

1) I am using the *options* statement to control temperature with a parameter. I have the parameter specified in my statistics block that I use in my Monte Carlo. Example:

parameters d_temp=50
setup options temp= d_temp
statistics {
     process {
           vary d_temp dist=unif N=100 percent=yes
     }
}

mc1 montecarlo variations=process {
     tran1 tran start=0 stop=10n
}

However, it seems that the Monte Carlo simulation doesn't do what I expected. In the params file, it has a title line saying "Temperature = 50C". I also tried the following:

setup options temp= 50
statistics {
     process {
           vary temp dist=unif N=100 percent=yes
     }
}

This doesn't work either. Anyone know how I can do a Monte Carlo simulation with temperature as one of the parameters?

2) How do I view the transient files that is produced from the child analysis? The transient files ARE being produced, but no wave viewer has worked. I tried Cscope and the waveform viewer from Cadence. What gives? Is there something I need to set?

Please help and I appreciate your time. Thanks!

Sorry if there was some confusion. This is *NOT* a yield analysis. For that, I completely understand that you need to test the corner cases.

The reason I am using a MonteCarlo is for statistical sampling for the behavior of a circuit, like the gain of an op-amp, without having to resort to a full blown sweep on all PVT parameters. This is intended to be a quick snapshot of the behavior.

So, is it possible? And how can I view my transient files?

Thanks.
