Setting Up a Parametric Analysis
A parametric setup specifies all of the design variations that Optimetrics drives Maxwell to solve. A parametric setup is made up of one or more variable sweep definitions, which are a set of variable values within a range that you want Maxwell to solve when you run the parametric setup.
You can define more than one parametric setup per design.
Note: Once you have
created a parametric setup, you can copy and paste it, and then make
changes to the copy, rather than redoing the whole process for minor
changes.
To add a parametric setup to a design:
- From the Maxwell 3D or Maxwell 2D menu, select Optimetrics Analysis > Add Parameters and Designs of Experiments > Add Parametric.
- Add a variable sweep definition.
- After you define a parametric sweep, a shortcut menu becomes available when you right-click the setup name.
Alternatively, right-click Optimetrics in the project tree, and then click Add > Parametric on the shortcut menu.
The Setup Sweep Analysis dialog box appears.
Note: Sweeping or using
a complex variable is not allowed in any optimetrics setup, including
optimization, statistical, sensitivity, and tuning setups.
Note: If you are performing an Optimetrics\parametric analysis of a Maxwell 2D transient design that uses expression cache, cut down on simulation time by using the HPC settings Optimetrics Variations and Single level only. For more information on setting up a Maxwell 2D parametric transient design that uses expression cache, see Defining Expressions for Transient Solutions.
