Saving Field Solutions for a Sensitivity Setup

In order to preserve disk space, by default Ansys Electronics Desktop does not save field solution data for every solved design variation in a sensitivity analysis. It only saves the field solutions for the nominal design when an adaptive analysis is specified in the solution setup or when you request that fields be saved for each solved point in a frequency sweep. If the nominal design is not included in the sensitivity analysis, all field solutions are deleted.

To save the fields for all design variations solved during a sensitivity analysis:

  1. Right-click Optimetrics in the Project Manager and choose Add > Sensitivity from the shortcut menu to create a new sensitivity analysis setup.

    Alternatively, to change the settings of an existing setup, right-click the desired Sensitivity analysis setup under Optimetrics in the Project Manager and choose Properties.

    The Setup Sensitivity Analysis dialog box appears.

  2. Select the Options tab.
  3. Select Save Fields And Mesh. Optionally, select Copy geometrically equivalent meshes.

    Ansys Electronics Desktop will save the field solution data for every solved design variation in the sensitivity analysis.

Note:

Alternatively, you can modify the Ansys Electronics Desktop General Options to save fields by default for any new Optimetrics setup. See: Saving Field Solutions for Optimetrics Analyses for instructions.

Changing the default setting in the General Options has no effect on previously defined Optimetrics setups.
