Including a Variable in a Statistical Analysis

Before a variable can be included in a statistical analysis, you must specify that you intend for it to be used during a statistical analysis in the Properties window.

To specify that a variable is to be used during statistical analysis:

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 use.
3. Select the Statistics radio button.
4. Use the Include check boxes to select variables for statistical analysis.
   Important:

   Dependent variables cannot be included in a statistical analysis.

   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 statistical analysis in the current design or project.

5. If desired, click the Distribution Criteria button to override the distribution criteria that Optimetrics will use for the variable in every statistical analysis.
