Specifying a Solution Quantity's Calculation Range

The calculation range of a solution quantity determines the value of intrinsic variables such as frequency (F) at which the solution quantity will be extracted. For a parametric setup, the calculation range must be a single value. For a Driven Modal or Driven Terminal design, if you selected to extract the solution from the last adaptive solution, Optimetrics uses the adaptive frequency defined in the solution setup. If you selected to extract the solution quantity from a frequency sweep solution, Optimetrics by default will use the starting frequency in the sweep.

1. In the Setup Sweep Analysis dialog box, click the Calculations tab.
2. Click the Setup Calculations button.

The Add/Edit/Calculation dialog box appears.

3. Select the Calculation Range tab.
4. In the Variable list, click an intrinsic variable.

Depending on the variable and Report Type, either a single value or All appears in the Value field.

5. In the Value box, click the ellipsis button to display a dialog box that lets you select particular values, or specify a range of values (for Time sweeps). By default, Use all values is selected.
6. Click Update, and then click Edit.
