ADS allows duplicated variables in simulation !!! ???

[DoYouLinux]

Hi all,

I just noticed that, in a schematic, I have accidentally two variables with the same name but different values (say, C1 = 10 fF and C1 = 50 fF). I assumed to deactivate C1 = 10 fF, but I forgot. Then, with both C1 activated, I can run ADS. Then I don't know exactly which value ADS has picked in the simulation.

Is there any way to set that with such condition, simulation has to be terminated as an error occurred ?

Thanks a lot,

DYL

You should have seen a warning in the simulation log window:

Dear Volker,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I saw this warning also. But, is there anyway to flag it as an error and stop the simulation with this kind of duplication ?

First of all it's not the simulators fault. Activate and deactivate the cap values and see which one matches you expected results.
