HFSS15: Setting Up a Statistical Analysis

Following is the general procedure for setting up a statistical analysis. Once you have created a setup, you can Copy and Paste it, and then make changes to the copy, rather than redoing the whole process for minor changes.

1. Before a variable can be included in a statistical analysis, you must specify that you intend for it to be used during a statistical analysis in the Properties dialog box.

2. On the HFSS >Optimetrics Analysis>Add Statistical .

3. The Setup Statistical Analysis dialog box appears.

4. Under the Calculations tab, type the maximum number of iterations you want HFSS to perform in the Maximum Iterations text box.

5. Specify a solution quantity to evaluate.

6. In the Calculation text box, set the value at which the solution quantity is to be computed.

7. Optionally, modify the distribution criteria to be used.

8. The following optional statistical analysis setup options can also be used:

• Modify the starting variable value.

• Exclude variables from the statistical analysis.

• Modify the values of fixed variables that are not being modified during the statistical analysis.

• Request that Optimetrics solve a parametric sweep during a statistical analysis.

9. If you want to save the field solution data for the design variations solved during analysis, select Save Fields.
