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.

Note:

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:

  1. Select Twin Builder > Optimetrics Analysis > Add Parametric .
  1. 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.

  1. 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.
