Sweeping 2 variables (at a time) in Parametric analysis

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

    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.
