====== Update 2017/08/01 ======

New feature: a combined temperature-voltage sweep can be done using the keyword "Temperature-Voltage" in the field <SweepType> of <SweepParameters> (see the example of code below). In this case, the simulation can be parallelized. <Threads> defines the number of parallel threads. Its optimal value should be the number of cpu cores available (if the available memory is sufficient) . Within each parallel temperature sweep, a serial voltage sweep is performed.

<code>
    <SweepParameters>   
 <SweepType>Temperature-Voltage</SweepType>
    <MinV> 50</MinV> 
    <MaxV> 60</MaxV> 	
    <DeltaV> 2</DeltaV> 	

    <MinT> 25</MinT> 
    <MaxT> 300</MaxT> 	
    <DeltaT> 25</DeltaT> 

    <Threads>12</Threads> <!-- Parallelization for Temperature-Voltage sweep -->
  </SweepParameters>
</code>
Note that for such voltage-temperature sweep, <Maximum_Number_of_Threads> should be set to 1 (combined parallelization will result in lower performances)
<code>
</Simulation_Parameter>
...
   <Maximum_Number_of_Threads>1</Maximum_Number_of_Threads>
  </Simulation_Parameter>
  </code>


At the end of the simulation, current and gain maps can be displayed.
