Choosing a Variable to Tune

Before a variable can be tuned, you must specify that you intend for it to be tuned in the Properties window.

To specify that a variable is to be tuned:

1. Navigate either to the Project Variables Properties window (Project > Project Variables), or to the Design Variables Properties window (HFSS > Design Properties).

   The Properties window appears.

2. Use the tabs to navigate to the variable you want to optimize.
3. Select the Tuning radio button.
4. Use the Include check boxes to select variables for tuning.
   Important:

   Dependent variables cannot be tuned.

   Variables containing complex numbers cannot be used in an Optimetrics sweep or for optimization, statistical, sensitivity, and tuning setups.

   

   The selected variable(s) will be available for tuning.
