    Hi everyone!

    Spectre seems to have a built-in setting that limits the maximum size of
    a psfascii tran.tran file. When simulating and this size is reached,
    Spectre either automatically shuts down or crashes. This size is around
    2.5 GB.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to increase or change this setting?
    There doesn't seem to be a documented command-line switch for this, but
    perhaps there is an undocumented one.

    Thanks in advance!

    This is a bug in Spectre, Spectre should split result files greater than
    2G.
    This bug should be fixed, but I assume you are using a 4.4.6 version of Cadence
    DFII.

    Bernd,

    Nope, I'm using Spectre from DFII 5.0.33. I wonder why the bug hasn't
    been fixed...

    Thanks,
    -Jason

    It's not a bug. File splitting is only supported with binary PSF.
