HFSS15: Sweeping a Variable in a Report

In HFSS, a swept variable is a variable that typically has more than one value. You can plot any calculated or derived quantity against one or more of the swept variable’s values.

For large projects or projects with many variables, you may obtain faster post processing before generating a solution by selecting which variables function as Sweep variables. Only the variables with Sweep enabled are indexed for post processing. See Adding a Design Variable and Adding a Project variable.

To specify the swept variable values to plot a selected quantity against:

1. In the Report dialog, select the variable from the X (Primary Sweep) pulldown menu.

2. To modify the values that will be plotted for a variable:

a. Click the ellipsis [...] button on the X (Primary Sweep) line of the Report dialog to displays a popup list of the possible values.

b. Select All Values or click the Edited button to display a dialog that lets you specify the sweeps to use.

All of the selected variable’s values will be plotted.
