The simulation crashed within 20 seconds of invoking it with this error message: ----------------------------------------------------------- Run-time exception error; current exception: xalloc No handler for exception. Abort ------------------------------------------------------------ (This was with Hspice v2001.2 running on a solaris platform) The .st0 status file looks like this: Init: hspice initialization file: /import/cadist/pkgs/hspice/hspice,v2001.2.sun init: begin read circuit files, cpu clock= 2.98E-01 option scale = 1.000E-07 init: end read circuit files, cpu clock= 3.22E-01 memory= 14 kb init: begin check errors, cpu clock= 3.22E-01 Did your simulation get any further ? I tend to not use the built-in field solver to generate RLGC parameters as I've got more faith in some of the stand-alone solvers that we have available. -Ray Anderson ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
