Setting Up a Parametric Analysis
A parametric setup specifies all of the design variations that Optimetrics drives Twin Builder 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 for Twin Builder to solve when you run the parametric setup.
You can define more than one parametric setup per design.
Once you have created a parametric setup, you can copy and paste it, then make changes to the copy, rather than redoing the whole process for minor changes.
To add a parametric setup to a design:
- Select Twin Builder > Optimetrics Analysis > Add Parametric
.
- Alternatively, right-click Optimetrics in the Project tree, and select Add > Parametric. The Setup Sweep Analysis dialog box appears.
- Add
a variable sweep definition.
Note:
Sweeping or using a complex variable is not allowed in any optimetrics setup, including optimization, statistical, sensitivity, and tuning setups.
After you define a parametric sweep, a shortcut menu becomes available when you right-click the setup name.
- Use the Options tabto save the solution data for solved design variations in the parametric analysis, or to enable/disable use of a fast calculation-update algorithm to speed up Optimetrics and report updates during Optimetrics analyses.
