: adds a new parameter sweep to the selected sequence.Sequences and parameter sweeps are added and removed using the buttons above the window: These values are determined by the settings on the right side of the tab. The controls on the left side of the tab arrange parameter sweeps into groups, or sequences, and displays each parameter with a summary of values that specify the points at which a calculation is run. These settings determine how a calculation sweeps through a single parameter or group of parameters. The Setup Parameter Sweeps tab settings are enabled by checking the Perform Parameter Sweep option. Setting up a parameter sweep is one of three basic steps that must be completed in order to run a parameter sweep. Only one type of external excitation can be active at a time, so users can select which plane wave to use for each calculation. Within the tab, users can choose one or both of the two available options: Discrete Sources and Use External Excitation.Ĭhecking the Discrete Sources / Waveguide Sources option activates cell edges on which the electric field is modified using an input waveform to behave as a voltage or current source, such as a circuit component, modal waveguide interface, or nodal waveguide interface.Ĭhecking the Use External Excitation option enables the Active Excitation setting, allowing users to choose from the project's external excitations. The Choose Source tab is available only when a project utilizes at least one external excitation or static voltage point.
