[SOLVED] [Moved]: how to get design variable into calculator in virtuoso?

[kwagjj]

I have setup a simulation with a design variable.

With the simulation result, I wish to make some expressions that uses values of the design variable.

For example, I currently have a design variable named 'freq1'. How do I utilize this value in the calculator/expression?

I've tried
value(freq1)
value("freq1")
freq1

but none of them seems to work. Is there a way to do this?

What I have always done, is to make a dumb simple vdc
instance which has the variable as its "dc" property, and
then I can get that variable value as vdc(pos_node) or
value(v(pos_node),0) for a transient analysis if I didn't
do/save OP results.

Brilliant idea for getting dc values... but in this case, I would like to get the 'frequency' value... I don't think the same method can be used in this case.

VAR("freq")
