Parametric Sweep versus Parameter

I want to make a sequence of plots and/or movie, with a variable changing, but my model is not a function of this variable. For example I want surface plots of emw.Ex*cos(theta)+emw.Ey*sin(theta) for theta 0 to 360 degrees in 45 degree increments where the model isn't a function of theta.

I can use "Parametric Sweep" but I worry that this will cause Comsol to recalculate and/or store the
same solution multiple times. [ed: my testing indicates that Comsol _does_ store multiple copies of the solution even though the model isn't a function of a parametric sweep parameter]

Also, it would be good to make this sort of "not-parametric" sweep without needing to recalculate the solution.

Is there an alternative to parametric sweep for this situation?
