Help! Can APS be used in AMS Designer？

[galilei]

Hi，

As we all know, the analog simulator is typically spectre or ultrasim in Cadence AMS Designer. However, the ultrasim is precision-limited and spectre is much slower (well, spectre with turbo mode is indeed faster but not fast enough if having a large scale of circuit).

So I want to know if or not we can use APS as the analog simulator in AMS Designer. If yes, then how?

Cadence AMS help document says that APS is supported. But now in ADE->Simulation->solver, there are only 2 options, spectre and ultrasim. I don't know what's wrong. Can anyone give me some advice?

I'm using IC5141 USR6 + MMSIM 7.2 + IUS 8.2.

you should update your ic5141 version

Or put path to MMSIM before path to IC5141.

IC 5.10.41 has aps option in simulator menu
