Sweeping 2 variables (at a time) in Parametric analysis

EngrZM

hi

I have a question regarding parametric analysis. I want to sweep two variables (in parallel) to find some optimum value. but i am facing the problem that it sweeps one variable while fixing the other; and after completing the 1st variable sweep; it takes next value of variable 2 and sweeps variable 1 again for complete range. so how can i made modifications in parametric analysis to sweep both variables in parallel.

Many Thanks

    i got it in parametric set but it is hectic if range is large with small intervals. how can it be made in linear steps by defining only initial, final values and step size.

    Thanks

    You can do this with ADE XL (and ADE Assembler in IC617). You need to define the sweeps for the two global variables, and then select them both and do Right Mouse->Group as Parametric Set. The sweeps can be set up however you like (start, step, stop  etc). You can also have more than one parametric set - so you could have three variables swept together, and another set (swept orthogonally to the first set) with two variables which are also swept together.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    The linear sweep can be defined with: start:step:stop as variable value, like 0:0.1:1

    Many thanks for making it easy for me .

    i tried it in ADE L, but its not working

    many thanks for your kind reply

    As I said earlier, this is supported in ADE XL. You can't use the start:step:stop syntax in the ADE L parametric set; that's why I said about ADE XL and ADE Assembler.
