Monte Carlo Analysis 13
-9
There is a trade-off in choosing the number of Monte Carlo runs.
More runs provide better statistics, but take proportionally more
computer time. The amount of computer time scales directly
with the number of runs: 20 transient analyses take 20 times as
long as one transient analysis. During Monte Carlo runs, the
PSpice A/D status display includes a line showing the run
number and the total number of runs to be done. This gives an
idea of how far the program has progressed.
