optiSLang User Workflow

This topic explores the general workflow for creating an optiSLang project from Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT).

1. Prepare the AEDT project by ensuring:
   • Parameters exist.
     Note:

     optiSLang scans parameters at both the project and design level. Hidden parameters are also scanned. See: Parametrization for optiSLang Integration.

   • Project is solved.
   • Results reports exist and are prepared for the specific use case
     • For a standard use case, set all variables to nominal.
     • For a use case with a user-defined sweep, display all variations.

     See: Results and Reports for optiSLang Integration.

2. Invoke the Solver Wizard in optiSLang or create an optiSLang project directly from AEDT.

   

   

3. Create a one-node setup or a two-node setup.
   • A one-node setup registers both parameters and responses. This is the type of setup created by the wizard.
   • A two-node setup registers parameters in the first node and responses in the second. This is a more complicated setup that requires cloning the integration node, setting function switches, and setting absolute or relative paths. Consult the optiSLang help for more information.
4. View results in either tabular or tree view.
5. Enable Shared Parameters View. By default, parameters from different models are treated separately and a prefix based on the model name ensure uniqueness of names. In shared mode, sub-models are kept in sync and prefixes are unnecessary.

   

6. Reload the AEDT project in optiSLang to see the effects of changed settings.
