A problem about mapping

    I did the following things:
    1, run "dc" simulations in ADE;
    2, get the transconductance of a transistor by this command: OP("/I2/
    M37" "gm"), it works well;
    3, generate the ocean scripts from ADE;
    4, edit the ocean scripts, change the resultsDir from ".../..../
    schematic" to ".../.../schematic00", keep all others to be the same,
    and run the scripts;
    5, select the results "schematic00", run the command OP("/I2/M37"
    "gm"), it gives nil
    6, run the command OP("I2.M37.mds" "gm"), it gives the results.

    My question is: Why I cannot use OP("/I2/M37" "gm")? In the second
    simulation, everything in the netlist and map and amap are the same,
    spectre should be able to get the mapping information, shouldn't it?

    Thanks!

  2. Sounds a bit odd. BTW, it's not spectre that needs the mapping, but OCEAN (or
    rather then underlying results access functions). Are you opening the results,
    or re-running the simulation?

    Probably you should contact customer support over this one - preferrably with
    the data you're using to ensure it's well understood.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
