Subcircuit Optimization in HFSS 3D Layout and Nexxim

HFSS 3D Layout and Nexxim both support matrix quantities in optimetrics (Optimization, Parametic Analysis, etc). From the Setup Optimization window, users can select matrix quantities like S-Matrix, Y-Matrix, and Z-Matrix as calculations, and can then specify as a goal an equivalent matrix or an imported solution of the same matrix size.

Ansys Electronics Desktop provides all the S-Matrix, Y-Matrix and Z-Matrix data for optimization. If you select an imported solution as the goal, the S-Matrix data on the imported solution is read in and sent to the optimization routines. For more information, see Setting up an Optimization Analysis.
