FreeLists / si-list / [SI-LIST] Re: Getting Hspice to accept numbers with mantissa's larger than 8 characters

["Taha Amiralli" <thamiral@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply Fred,

I have looked up the option that you had recommeneded (i.e. NUMDGT)
and the hspice manual mentions that this option is used to specify the
"Number of significant digits to print, for output variable values."

My concern is more along the lines of inputs since, from what I
understand, hspice uses single precesion floating point
representations for input values and hence, it only accepts 6-7 digts
of a mantissa.

Sincerely,
