Cadence Calculator to get average power

[Linfei]

Hi All,

I tried to use calculator to get a average power of a transistor by
the following equation
average(IT("/R0/PLUS")* IT("/R0/PLUS"))*100 ----the resistor is
100 ohm
but the calculator either gives me nan ( which I don't know what it
means) or fail to calculate.

I updated my cadence recently and the same expression ran well when
using the previous cadence version.

please help.

Best Regards,
linfei

Linfei,

Did you verify that there were transient results available, and that
the terminal name is valid? Have you tried to enter the expression via
the calculator GUI in your new version, rather than simply typing/
pasting in the same text string?
