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.
- If the variable is a design variable, click Maxwell 3D (or Maxwell 2D, or RMxprt) > Design Properties. You can also access the Design variables from a menu in the lower left corner of the following Optimization dialogs: Parametric, Optimization, Sensitivity, Statistical, Design of Experiments, and Design Xplorer Setup.
-
Click Edit Variables and from the menu select Edit Design (or Project) Variables.
- Select the Tuning option.
- For the variable you want to tune, select
Include.
Note: Complex numbers are not allowed for variables to be used in an Optimetrics sweep, or for optimization, statistical, sensitivity or tuning setups.
- Click OK.
If the variable is a project variable, click Project > Project Variables. You can also access the Project variables from a menu in the lower left corner of the following Optimization dialogs: Parametric, Optimization, Sensitivity, Statistical, Design of Experiments, and Design Xplorer Setup.
The Properties window appears.
Note: Dependent variables
cannot be tuned.
The selected variable is now available for tuning in the Tune window.
