If you are using EP-Launch, there is a "inc" that can be set and tested in each subsequent simulation. (I believe there is a simple example shown in the files area here). The output files from EP-Macro are put as "epmidf" and "epmdet" extensions -- usually in the output files area. It looks like there was a previous set of messages about this -- I will catch up to them tomorrow.
