Accessing design variables in parametric set sweeps

Naci

Hi,

I am performing a parametric set sweep with a large number of parameters in the set. Is it possible to access design variable values that are constant scalars (not swept) in the output expressions without using "leafValue" function?

I am using ICADVM18.1-64b.500.13

    I'm not sure why you would use leafValue() to do this. Wouldn't the VAR() function suffice?

    Hi Andrew,

    I need to use the design variable in calculations in the output setup with the type set to sweep. So, when I use VAR() in such a case, it returns a vector with the same design variable value for each sweep point. Is there simple way to get the scalar value instead of the vector?

    Hi Naci,

    Maybe using ymax(VAR("varName") ?overall t) would do what you want? Since all values are the same, this would give you the value. Might be a better way, but this is a quick-and-dirty off-the-top-of-my-head answer ;-)

    Hi Andrew,

    It does the trick! Thank you. Though, It may have been better to have an option in VAR function that does the trick itself Slight smile
