Ocean vs CDE convergence

[ttnh]

I have a simple DC analysis temperature sweep. When I run it from the
Affirma Cirucit Design Enviroment GUI it runs fine. I then click
Session->SaveScript to filename ./oceanScript. Followed by typing: Load
"oceanScript.ocn" on the command line of the CIW. The ocean script started
simulation will not converge. Why are do they converge differently? What can
I do to fix it?

Thanks
Tim

Tim:
Are you setting options in Simulation->Options->Analog? Are all these
options getting printed to the ocean script? You may need to generate
the ocean script with the fullKey option asiWriteOceanScript(outPort
asi_session ?fullKey t).

Enter the following in the CIW:
outPort=outfile("~/oceanScript.ocn")
option asiWriteOceanScript(outPort asiGetCurrentSession() ?fullKey t)
close(outPort)

You can also get the menu which saves the OCEAN script to include
the defaults if you set this cdsenv var:

asimenv.misc saveDefaultsToOCEAN boolean t

Or from SKILL:

envSetVal("asimenv.misc" "saveDefaultsToOCEAN" 'boolean t)
