Solving a Single Setup

To solve a single specific solution setup:

  1. Right-click a solution setup in the Project tree. Standard Analysis setups can be either transient, AC, or DC. Optimetrics setups can be either parametric, optimization, sensitivity, or statistical.
  2. Click Analyze, or press F12 to start an analysis.

Twin Builder compiles a netlist for the project, then computes the solution.

Warning:

By default, unconnected component pins (terminals) generate errors (displayed in the Message Manager pane) when a netlist is generated. Simulation is not possible until the errors are corrected.

You can change this default component behavior Using the Component Editor so that either no action is taken when unconnected terminals are netlisted, or unconnected terminals are grounded.

 

To solve two or more sweeps or two or more parametric analyses under a setup:

  1. Configure two or more machines for a distributed analysis. See Solving Remotely for configuration issues, and Configuring Distributed Analysis for setting up the Twin Builder general options.
  2. In the Project tree, under the design you want to solve, right-click the setup icon that includes the sweeps of interest, then click Analyze.

Each solution sweep under that setup is solved in the order it appears in the Project tree, using the available machines.
