HSPICE monte Carlo simulation error

[020170]

When I use monte carlo command in hspice, hspice generated log file with error statement like this.



**error** no difinition for 0:monte
it was called by 0:tr1

what does it means?

I used hspice 2006.03. Netlist I written is like this.

.....
.tran 1u 230u monte=10
.probe v(*) i(*)
.....

I don''t know why hspice can't work properly.

thanks.

Could you please tell me the difference between monte carlo analysis and corner analysis?

Because my company never use monte carlo , when I asked my boss , He said, corner analysis is enough.

Thanks

Dear 020170,

You should add the keyword "sweep" before you determine the Monte Carlo iteration numbers. (like this
.tran 1u 230u sweep monte=10
