Hi, I'm using spectre to simulate my analog circuits. But the circuit is slightly complex.
When I run transient analysis for 2 us, the output file (named tran.tran.trn) is as large as 40G. So I set software output time to 1.5 us.
Then the output file is much smaller. However, when I plot some signals to verify the simulation result, memory occupied by the software grows
( but does not exceed my physical memory, and the swap is not used) and the whole software seems to be halted.
So I have to kill spectre and restart my simulation again. But occasionally the waveform window works normally.
So, can anyone tell me what's the problem?
