if you are using spectre, you can use infotimes to save dc operating point parameters (like vth) at certain times within a transient.
try spectre -h tran or look it up in the spectre manual in the installation path.

Hi,

The Spectre "save" statement should be used. "infotimes" is not really suitable for this.

 save m1:gds r1:pwr

The operating point variables will be saved in the rawfile with your regular voltage/currents and
can be plotted as usual.

yes the save method is the correct method!
if using the ADE GUI it used to be possible to add the statement into the modelfile setup, but now you need to include in a setup->simulation file and access the data via results browser or getData( "I0:vth" ?result "tran-tran").
