Electric, as far as I know, does not have built-in support for corner case simulation. Usually corner-case simualtion (ff, ss, tt) simulation is done by supply the PMOS/NMOS model cards that capture this behavior and using that to do Spice simulation on the netlist. To account for process variations (some transistors may be fast, typical, slow), if you simulate in all three corners and your circuit works, you have more confidence that the circuit will function with process variations. In industry, there are more corner points (like low/high temperature, worst-case low etc). As long as you have the model cards, you can use any Spice simulator. Monte carlo simulations are also implemented by Spice simulators. For example, HSpice. Consult the documentation. You need to specify it while you are running transient analysis. You also need to specify the parameters that will be varying for Monte carlo to work. I don't work have much experience in this area so other people should be able to tell you more about it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Electric VLSI Editor" group.
