AI summary

A method for automatic control of a simulation error in an analog circuit and a use thereof are provided.

The method forms a simulation sampling dataset based on a simulation option combination parameter and an error corresponding to the simulation standard. Finally, the method optimizes and analyzes the simulation sampling dataset based on an artificial intelligence algorithm to acquire a simulation option combination that meets a simulation error requirement and takes a least time. The solution achieves automatic selection of the simulation option combination, improving the accuracy of the simulation result.
