To check your geometry for parametric failures, you can perform a geometry-only design point update. When the partial results have been calculated, you can save them to the project to be used in subsequent design point updates. You might do this if you want to generate the geometry updates on one machine and then move the project to a machine that cannot update geometry.
To perform a geometry-only update:
On the Project Schematic, right-click the Parameter Set bar and select from the context menu.
If the Properties pane is already visible, click the Parameter Set bar to refresh the Properties pane with the design point settings.
In the Properties pane, from the Update Option drop-down list, select Run in Foreground.
From the Partial Update drop-down list, select Geometry.
To retain the results from the partial update, from the Retain Partial Update drop-down list, select Geometry.
Note: This setting causes the geometry results to be saved whether you perform a partial update or a full update.
Partial update data can exist from either a partial or full design point update. To remove existing partial update data, set Retain Partial Update to None. The partial retained data is deleted from the project the next time that design points are updated.
