Hi Shalom, Yes, I'm aware of the fact and one of the reasons to propose it is that some users who know digital Verilog or SV might find it strange that there is an analog initial block (which is different from the digital initial block) without an analog final block.

Maybe we should reconsider this as where an analog initial block may open a file to read data from that is used in initialization. If data from that file is also needed later on in the simulation then an analog final block may be usefull for closing that file. An final_step event would in that case not always be able to handle the closing of files, for instance in the case of a DC sweep. The analog final block would then be guaranteed to be run after all of the regular analog blocks have been processed, and prior to any sebsequent analog initial blocks are processed in case of a (DC) parametric sweep. Alternatively, the analog final block can act as a conceptually simpler description of an analog final_step event and obviously with most of the same limitations as a global event - no contribution statements, no analog operators, no event control statements, but support for access functions. Does this make any sense?
