Nexxim Monte Carlo Analysis

The Nexxim DC and transient analyses can be performed multiple times while using randomly generated values of one or more component parameters. The random-value method is referred to as Monte Carlo analysis. For DC, Monte Carlo analysis can be performed with or without specifying a parameter sweep. For details on the syntax used to specify sweeps, see Variable Sweep.

A Monte Carlo analysis requires three steps:

  1. Define a netlist parameter using one of the Monte Carlo distributions.
  2. Use the netlist parameter directly or indirectly as the value of an element parameter or model parameter.
  3. Add the Monte Carlo analysis to the DC or TRAN solution setup in the netlist.
    Note:

    Monte Carlo analysis is supported only in netlists. There is no setup dialog in the schematic editor.
