Clearing Linked Data

Linked data can be a mesh, field results, or some other post-processing data that the source design generated. The target design for the link caches the data internally to minimize the need to activate the source design.

If you have previously setup links to a design, the HFSS 3D Layout> Analysis> Setup shortcut menu contains an option to Clear Linked Data. This removes the linked data for all links in a design, therefore invalidating the solutions. You can also clear linked data through HFSS 3D Layout> Results> Clean Up Solutions, which displays a dialog box that includes options to let you selectively delete linked data only, or as part of other deletions.

Clearing linked data for some link types requires HFSS 3D Layout to revert to the initial mesh. Thus in some cases, this command removes the current mesh of the target design.
