By default, all participants perform an update with every coupling step. However, each coupling participant's Update Control settings allow for changes to the participant's update frequency. In this case, setting Maxwell for less frequent updates will help to mitigate the lengthy runtime and heavy resource usage that can be caused by different electromagnetic and thermal timescales.
Change update controls for the Maxwell participant.
In the Outline pane, expand > > .
Under Ansys Electronics Desktop, click Update Control.
Corresponding settings are shown below in the Properties pane.
Set Option to Step Interval.
The Update Frequency setting become available.
Set Update Frequency to 5
Maxwell will now perform an update for the first coupling step (as all participants do, regardless of update settings), but then only for every fifth coupling step (5, 10, 15…and so on) thereafter.
