Ngspice raw file output question: Hi all, I'm trying to use the -r flag in ngspice batch mode to specify a raw file to output the simulation results to. The thing is that although ngspice clearly acknowledges the path and file name I specify on the command line because it prints a message to the console detailing it as the binary raw file to output to it doesn't ever actually write a file. Can anyone help? Thanks

Netlist?

Thanks @Amro Tork I can get it to you later

If the file is not written it is probably because simulation was not started. If using ngspice in batch mode do not use

.control / .endc

constructs, write the simulation commands in the old legacy spice way:

.option savecurrents

.tran ... ...

That's interesting @Stephen Schippers but I run in batch mode all the time now using .control and my simulations always run fine but they only write to raw files when I explicitly use the write command from within .control

@Tom, you are right, even in batch mode ngspice runs simulation specified in a .control block, however no raw file is produced even if -r xxx.raw is given. If you remove the .control/.endc and write a plain .tran ... (or .dc ... or .ac ...) line then the raw file is generated. I use this command in general:

ngspice -b -r rawfile.raw -o outfile.out  circuit.spice

Thank you very much @Stefan Schippers I will try that this evening
