I could find the max directivity and i tried to use the same function for minimum but it didnt work. Also i want to calculate the average. the code is shown below. please can you help me with this

//
userdefined goal function for optimizer

Option Explicit

Function GoalFunction() As Double

Dim cst_value As Double

With FarfieldPlot

.Reset

SelectTreeItem "Farfields\farfield (f=0.433) [1]"

.SetPlotMode "directivity"

.SetScaleLinear True

.Plottype "3D"

.Vary "theta"

.Thetastep 1

.Phi 0

.Plot

Wait 0.02

' Maxmize directivity

GoalFunction = 10/Abs(.Getmax)

End With

End Function



Sub Main()

MsgBox CStr(GoalFunction())

in the help you have some programm talking about gain and directivity in VBA. in the help write "userdefined watch" and "Visual basic (VBA) langage".

I'm studying VBA right now and I try to do something else, I have a macro which exist already. I can make this macro local or global. I want to run this macro after each calaculation of a parameter in a parameter sweep simulation. I know I have to write something in the case 1. I tried to write open "namemacro.mcr" but it didn't work. I f someone has a help, I will be grateful:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
' userdefined watch for parameter sweep

Option Explicit

Sub ParameterSweepWatch(action As Integer)

'Please define actions for the parameter sweep watch here.

Select Case action
Case 0
'Please define actions before the parametersweep starts.

Case 1
'Please define actions after each calculation.

Case 2
'Please define actions after the parametersweep has finished.

End Select

End Sub

Sub Main()

ParameterSweepWatch 0
ParameterSweepWatch 1
ParameterSweepWatch 2

End Sub
