Selecting the Sweep Type
For Driven solution types.
Specify the type of sweep you want to perform in the Edit Frequency Sweep window. Choose one of the following sweep types.
|
Generates a unique full-field solution for each division within a frequency range. Best for models that will abruptly resonate or change operation in the frequency band. A Fast sweep will obtain an accurate representation of the behavior near the resonance. Fast sweeps are disabled if an anisotropic boundary condition is present. |
|
|
(default) |
Estimates a solution for an entire frequency range. Best when the frequency range is wide and the frequency response is smooth, or if the memory requirements of a Fast sweep exceed your resources. All discrete basis solutions are solved prior to interpolating sweeps because it is possible that an interpolating sweep can re-use already solved frequencies from a discrete sweep.
When you select Interpolating sweeps in the Edit Sweep dialog box, the Interpolation options tab is activated. This lets you specify a maximum number of solutions, and other interpolation values. |
|
Generates field solutions at specific frequency points in a frequency range. Best when only a few frequency points are necessary to accurately represent the results in a frequency range. |
If you expect to use the same option settings often, you can click Set Defaults. To use previously saved settings, click Use Defaults.
