Sweeping a Variable in a Report

In Maxwell, a swept variable is an intrinsic, project, or design variable that typically has more than one value. You can plot any calculated or derived quantity against one or more of the swept variable's values.

To specify the swept variable values to plot a selected quantity against:

  1. In the Report dialog box, select the variable from the X (Primary Sweep) drop-down menu.
  2. To modify the values that will be plotted for a variable:
    1. Click the ellipsis [...] button on the X (Primary Sweep) line to displays a drop-down menu of the possible values.
    2. Select Use all values or Select values and click the Edited button to display a dialog that lets you specify the sweeps to use.

All of the selected variable’s values will be plotted.

Note: When specifying a time sweep for a solution that is defined with varying save field, it is recommended that you select Use all values.
