HFSS15: Saving Field Solutions for an Optimization Setup

In order to preserve disk space, by default HFSS does not save field solution data for every solved design variation in an optimization analysis. It only saves the field solutions for the nominal design when an adaptive analysis is specified in the solution setup or when you request that fields be saved for each solved point in a frequency sweep. If the nominal design is not included in the optimization analysis, all field solutions are deleted.

To save the fields for all design variations solved during an optimization analysis:

1. Open an Edit Sweep dialog by either adding a sweep or right-click on a an existing sweep to view the short cut menu and selecting Properties.

2. Select the Options tab.

3. Click the Save Fields And Mesh check box. Optionally, select Copy geometrically equivalent mashes.

HFSS will save the field solution data for every solved design variation in the optimization setup.
