Solution (Subnode)
The Solution node () runs a solver configuration for either a Parametric Sweep (Job Configurations) or Design of Experiments (Job Configurations).
General
Select the sequence to Run from the list. The default is to run All solver configurations. Click the Go to Source button () to go to the source solver configuration.
Note that the All option will run all solver sequences for all studies. You typically need to limit this setting to the solver sequence that you want to run.
Output
In this section you can control how the copy of the solutions are stored in the container. The container is a solver sequence that has Solution Store nodes. Each Solution Store node is the solution computed for one of the parameter tuples in the Parametric Sweep (Job Configurations). The name of the solution copy is generated from the current sequence name and parameter values.
By default, the Add solution to a container checkbox is selected and the Clear previous list is set to Clear container initially. You can choose between Clear container initially, Append solutions to container, or Clear container for every new parameter value. To prevent any modifications to the container, clear the Add solution to a container checkbox.
Select the Regenerate default solver sequence checkbox to generate a new solver sequence for each parameter value. If the checkbox is cleared, the solver sequence is not changed.
Select the Reuse solution from previous step checkbox, if you want to reuse the converged values of variables from the previous sweep step as initial condition for the next step during the sweep. This option is useful for parameters not handled with continuation. See Reuse Solution from Previous Step List for information about reusing solutions.
Select the Keep reduced-order models checkbox to save reduced-order models during the sweep. If selected, these additional settings are available:
•
From the Add to tag list, choose Parameter name and value (the default), Index, or Parameter name and nonzero value (the latter option discards all zero values).
•
The Clear previous checkbox is selected by default to clear previous versions of the reduced-order models so that you can update all reduced-order models by running the study again.
•
The Keep the generating reduced-order models checkbox is selected by default. If selected, the generating reduced-order models are saved in addition to the reduced-order model copies.
Solution
This section contains a table of parameters and solutions after running a batch job or a parametric sweep. In the Parameters column you find the parameters in the parametric sweep, for example, and the values for those parameters at that step in the sweep. The corresponding row of the Solution column contains the name of the solution that corresponds to that set of parameter values. Typically, Solution Store nodes store those solutions, which are also available from the Solution list in the Solution datasets.
