Adding a Sweep of Temperature or of a Local Variable

Use the following steps with any analysis to add a sweep of temperature or of a local variable:

1. To add a sweep of a local variable or temperature, click Add on the Sweep Variables panel.
2. The Add/Edit Sweep dialog box opens. Select the temperature (TEMP) or a local variable from the Variable field.

Sweep options are:

• Single Value (enter the value and units)
• Linear Step (enter Start, Stop, and Step values and units)
• Linear count (enter Start, Stop, and Count values and units)
• Decade count (enter Start, Stop, and Count values and units)
• Octave count (enter Start, Stop, and Count values and units).

3. Click Add.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all parameter sweeps have been specified.
5. Click OK.
6. Complete the Solution Setup information (Output Quantities, etc.), then click Finish.

NOTE: if you specify two or more sweeps for the same variable, the dialog box will show the individual sweeps, for example:

Variable Sweep

A LIN 1 5 1 LIN 2 3 0.2

However, this specification turns into a single (POI) sweep when you browse the netlist:

.sweep A POI 9 1 2 2.2 2.4 2.6 2.8 3 4 5
