Hi,
I am trying to run "parametic from file" in Maxwell EddyCurrent solver. The calculation tab forces me to define a constant frequency while what I want is variable solver frequency. To setup a calculation in sweep analysis, it prompts user to define it as a range function.When range function like (max) is defined, then it asks for a frequency range. If the frequency in the solver setup is a constant then calculation range can be defined with that fixed frequency and parametric sweep works fine.
 But when frequency is defined with a  variable then it fails to evaluate the calculation.

Is that a limitation of Maxwell parametric analysis ? Is there a workaround for this ?

P.S. I also tried to define solver frequency in the frequency sweep as a single point but it also does not accept variable.

Hi

The Adaptive Frequency field can be set as a parameter, but the Frequency Sweep cannot. Please keep in mind that in the Eddy Current solver, frequency is treated as an intrinsic variable.

In a parametric calculation, you can select the variable defined in the Adaptive Frequency field and specify the calculation as max(StrandedLossAC).

If you use only StrandedLossAC in the calculation, you may encounter an error because output parameters must return a real scalar value. If you want to compute the StrandedLossAC in a specific object, then you can write the expression and add it in the Fields Calculator; finally, introduce it using the “Set Calculations -> Report type -  Fields” in the Parametric setup window.
