Error messages in an example code (diodeex01.in) from Silvaco...

Hello,

I have two error messages as follows:

*Tonyplot Error; Unable to load set file: diodeex01_0.set; The file cannot be accessed.

*Tonyplot Error; Unable to load set file: diodeex01_log.set; The file cannot be accessed.

 

for the example code from Silvaco below. 

I got IV curve plot anyway.

Can you help me on the issue?

I appreciate it!

:)

    May be some missing files, but not preventing to look at the simulation results. .set files are just files to pre-format simulation results in Tonyplot. Using Tonyplot you have the full flexibility to plot simulation results the way you want.
