The Wavelength Domain (
) study and study step are used to compute the response of a linear or linearized model subjected to electromagnetic harmonic excitation for one or several wavelengths.
where f is the frequency,
c0 is the speed of light in vacuum, and
λ is the vacuum wavelength. This frequency can be used as an input parameter to physics interfaces formulated to be run by
Frequency Domain studies.
Alternatively, select the Use asymptotic waveform evaluation check box to use an
AWE Solver instead of the Parametric solver.
Specify the vacuum wavelengths to use for the wavelength sweep. Select the unit to use from the Wavelength unit list (default:
μm). Type the vacuum wavelength in the
Wavelengths field using space-separated numbers or the
range function.
Use the Load parameter values field to select a file with parameter values. You can browse your file system for files by clicking the
Browse button (
). You can also click the downward arrow beside the
Browse button and choose
Browse From (
) to open the fullscreen
Select File window. Click the downward arrow for the
Location menu (
) to choose
Show in Auxiliary Data (
) to move to the row for this file in the
Auxiliary Data window,
Copy Location (
), and (if you have copied a file location)
Paste Location (
). After selecting a file, click the
Read File button (
) to load the parameter values into the
Frequencies field.
Select the Use asymptotic waveform evaluation check box to enable the
asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) solver. The Frequency Domain study generates a solver configuration that is used to solve a stationary parametric problem or an asymptotic waveform evaluation problem. By selecting this check box, this study step corresponds to an
AWE Solver.
If you are running a parametric sweep and want to distribute it by sending one parameter value to each compute node, select the Distribute parametric solver check box. This requires that your study includes a parametric sweep. To enable this option, click the
Show More Options button (
) and select
Batch and Cluster in the
Show More Options dialog box.
