How do I run Cadence Simulations somewhere other than my home directory to save my disk quota?

If you are running out of space when simulating your project or intend to run something large, please put the simulation directory under /scratch.

To do so, in the Analog enviroment Window, you need to select Setup… :: Simulator/Directory/Host, then choose the spectreS simulator, and set the project directory as /scratch/USERNAME/  (where ‘USERNAME’ is your username- this is just for identifying your own simulation and not overpopulating or overwriting others files in /scratch). Remember to make copies of important input signal files and the spectreFinal in your home directory, as we don’t make snapshots or backups of /scratch.
