Chapter 11 Parameter Sweep and Optimization Tutorial<br />

Entering New Nominal Values<br />

Usually for this type of circuit, you would optimize using both of the defined parameters,<br />

Lstub and Sstub, but for the sake of processing time, the optimization<br />

only uses one parameter, Lstub.<br />

The nominal value used for Sstub will be 220 mils. This was arrived at by actually<br />

executing the optimization using both parameters and using the closest value on<br />

the grid of the optimized parameter.<br />

26 Double-click on the parameter Sstub in the circuit.<br />

The Parameter Properties dialog box for Sstub appears on your display.<br />

27 Change the nominal value in the Nominal text entry box to 200.<br />

28 Click on the OK button to close the dialog box and apply the new nominal<br />

value.<br />

The circuit is redrawn using the new nominal value for Sstub.<br />

! WARNING<br />

It is recommended that you change the nominal value of dimension<br />

parameters by using the properties dialog box, since changing your nominal<br />

value this way does not affect any previous response data in your project file.<br />

If you change the nominal value of the dimension parameter by changing the<br />

circuit through editing commands, such as a reshape, all previous response<br />

data is deleted from the project file when you save.<br />

Setting Up an Optimization<br />

29 Select Analysis ⇒ Setup from the main menu of the project editor.<br />

The Analysis Setup dialog box appears on your display.<br />
