Inputs for Parametric Solver and Parametric Sweep Studies
This information is useful when defining plots or derived values for Parametric Solver and Parametric Sweep studies. Under the Data section in the Parameter values list, the associated parameter values are listed.
Plots
When setting parameters for parametric sweep studies in a node under Results, the available settings depend on the problem type. For a time-dependent parametric simulation, for example, you can select both time steps and parameter values. Similarly, an eigenvalue or eigenmode problem contains both eigenvalues or eigenmodes and parameter settings. In parametric sweeps, the time and eigenvalue settings are referred to as the inner solutions. Thus, in a graph plot for a parametric eigenvalue solution, for example, the axis source data for the x-axis data controls whether you want the inner solutions (eigenvalues) or outer solutions (parametric solutions) on the x-axis.
Under Data, for time-dependent Parametric Sweep studies, also select an option from the Time list: any or all of the stored output times or Interpolated to get the same interpolated times for every parameter.
If Interpolated is selected, enter Times or click the Range button () to select and define specific times.
For a 2D plot, you can select a single parameter and a single time (from the list of output times or interpolated), for example.
Derived Values
For Parametric Solver and Parametric Sweep studies, the Parameter selection list includes options for selecting solutions using the associated parameter values.
Any or all of the time steps can be selected from the Time selection list, or select Interpolated to get the same interpolated times for every parameter.
If Interpolated times is selected, enter Times or click the Range button () to select and define specific times.
When available, from the Table columns list, select Inner solutions or Outer solutions. These options are available when there is a Parametric Sweep problem with dynamic inner solutions (that is to say, time, eigenvalue, or parametric solutions).
-
If Inner solutions is selected, when the Evaluate button () is clicked, the results table displays the dynamic value (for example, time, eigenvalue, or parametric) solutions in rows.
-
If Outer solutions is selected, when the Evaluate button () is clicked, the results table displays the parameters in rows.
For Parametric Sweep studies, when you specify data to export in an Export>Data node’s Settings window, select an option from the Select via list: Stored output times or Interpolated times (time-dependent models only).
