Hi,
I'm doing SPICE-level simulation of mixed signal circuits. One simulation takes 1/2 hour. But when I have a look at the file spectre.out, the computing time is only 5 to 7 minutes. So what takes the rest of the time? Saving the data at the harddisk, IDLE states of the spectre-process, or the topology check which is done before the simulation. I assume that the topology check takes the rest of the time. Is this correct? If yes, can I save this information to do this process only one time?
As I know during the topology check the schematic is scanned for floting nodes and gmin or cmin are added. So maybe this process has to be done before every simulation? I'm happy about any comment :)
Kind regards, haikom
