Generating Field Objects in optiSLang for Use in a Simulation

The File menu option Export for simulation > Generate field objects in optiSLang exports a reference design directory template and the files needed to generate new field designs in an optiSLang workflow. New field designs are created by evaluating an existing field-MOP or random field model for a set of scalar input parameters or random field amplitudes.

To export field objects:

  1. Define the reference design directory template.

    In optiSLang, all design directories are treated based on this template.

  2. On the first wizard page, set the path of the reference design.

    Files can be located in a subdirectory of the reference design path. The list of parsed files is exported relative to this path.

  3. Determine your use case, performing the necessary steps:

  4. After completing the steps for your use case, on the second wizard page, choose an output format:

    • Export as a single archive (.sim) file. optiSLang can import this file.

    • Export all individual files and the reference design directory template to the output path.

  5. Set the output path.

oSP3D does not modify any files. It only creates the reference design directory template containing the reference files.

oSP3D exports files that are needed to evaluate field models:

  • CSV file containing scalar field-MOP input parameters and random field amplitudes

  • oSP3D database file containing the random field models

  • oSP3D script file (SSC) to evaluate the random field models.

The oSP3D database file randomfield_simulation_data.sdb contains the reference mesh and used scatter shapes.
