How to "Compute" keeping the previous result as it is

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone.

Is it possible to run a new "Compute" without overwriting the results by the previous "Compute"?

"Parametric Sweep" seems to give a solution, but at times I need to compute for one "Parameters" and check the result and then tune the parameters, again and again.

I wan to avoid writing down the results, say the frequency, each time.

You might add a second (third, etc.) identical study. This will produce a new solution.

Hi,

You can copy a solution, and the re-run the same study with new settings.

Below is a quote from the user's guide (without proper formatting):

Create Solution Copy

To create a copy of the solution data set, right-click the main Study node or the Solver Configurations node and select Create Solution Copy. A copy of the solution then appears as a Solution - Copy node under Solver Configurations and a corresponding Solution - Copy data set under Data Sets in the Results branch. This can be useful if you want to rerun the simulation with some changes to the model or solver settings. The first solution is then available in the Solution - Copy data set so that you can postprocess and analyze multiple solutions. You can also right-click a Solution node under Solver Configurations and choose Solution>Copy to create a copy of the solution data set for that solution.

Regards,
Henrik

Thank you, Edgar and Henrik! Both solutions worked for me.
