Modifying a Variable Sweep Definition Manually
You can manually modify the variable values that are solved for a parametric setup by explicitly changing, adding, or deleting existing points in a variable sweep definition under the Table tab of the Setup Sweep Analysis dialog box.
To manually modify a variable sweep definition:
- Click the Table tab of the Setup Sweep Analysis dialog box.
- Do one of the following:
- To modify a variable value, click a value text box in the table and type a new value.
- To delete a variable value from the sweep definition, click the row you want to delete, and then click Delete.
- To add a new variable value to the sweep definition, click Add. Then click in the value text box and type a new value.
The design variations Maxwell solves for the parametric setup listed in table format.
Warning: Variable values
must be single real numbers, or expressions that evaluate to single real
numbers. Complex numbers cannot be used as the values of variables in
any optimetric analysis.
Your modifications are tracked and available for viewing at the bottom of the Setup Sweep Analysis dialog box under the Sweep Definitions tab. The operations you performed are listed with descriptions.
Warning: If you modify
an original sweep definition using the Add/Edit
Sweep dialog box after you have manually modified its table
of design variations, your manual modifications become invalid and are
removed. A warning is displayed to inform you that your manual values
are about to become invalid, so you can decide whether or not to proceed.
