The SIMetrix environment provides a facility to automatically run multiple
SIMPLIS analyses. Two modes are available: parameter step and Monte Carlo.
- In parameter step mode, the run is repeated while setting a parameter
value at each step. The parameter may be used within any expression
to describe a device or model value.
- In Monte Carlo mode, the runs are repeated the specified number
of times with random distribution functions enabled. Distribution
functions return unity in normal analysis modes; but in Monte Carlo
mode, they return a random number according to a specified tolerance
and distribution. Any model or device parameter may be defined in
terms of such functions allowing an analysis of manufacturing yields
to be performed.
