Using Reduce Matrix > Parallel
Parallel reduction lets you connect two or more source terminals in parallel, which are then treated as if they were a single object. The rows and columns that represent their contributions to the matrix are replaced with a single row and column representing the contribution of this new object.
To set up parallel connections between the conductors in a structure:
- Click 2D Extractor > Reduce Matrix > Parallel.
The Reduce Operation window appears, with a list of the model's conductors in the left pane.
- Select two or more conductors to connect
in parallel. As soon as you click a conductor, it is removed from the conductors list and added to the Reduced Conductors List.
Note:
You cannot select a conductor that has already been reduced.
- If you have a long list of conductors, you can filter the list by entering search criteria and clicking Filter. Use multiple search criteria with a comma separator (for example, "Redsource*, BlueSource*").
- Enter a New Name. Since these conductors are treated as a single
conductor in the reduced matrix, their names will be replaced with the
one you specify here.
Note:
The New Name must be unique.
- Click one of the following:
- Save and Create to save and leave the Reduce Operation window open to add an additional operation. You must select the next operation from the drop-down menu before clicking this button.
- Save and Close to save the current operation and close the window.
- Cancel to close the window without making changes.
