Saving Field Solutions for an Optimization Setup
In order to preserve disk space, by default Maxwell does not save field solution data for every solved design variation in an optimization analysis. It only saves the field solutions for the nominal design when an adaptive analysis is specified in the solution setup or when you request that fields be saved for each solved point in a frequency sweep. If the nominal design is not included in the optimization analysis, all field solutions are deleted.
To save the fields for all design variations solved during an optimization analysis:
- Open an Edit Sweep window by either adding a sweep or right-click on an existing sweep to view the shortcut menu and selecting Properties.
- Select the Options tab.
- Click the Save Fields And Mesh check box. Optionally, select Copy geometrically equivalent meshes and choose whether to Solve with copied meshes only, or to Solve with copied meshes and continue adaptive passes.
Maxwell will save the field solution data for every solved design variation in the optimization setup.
