Hi,
I have a complicated resonant structure, for which I am sweeping two geometrical parameters. Besides the eigenfrequency of the system at each parameter setting, I would also like to output a derived quantity (integral of the electric field over a line), as a function of the two parameters. I can not afford saving the fieldmaps for each parameter setting, so I can not post-process the results after the optimetrics sweep has completed. I would like this quantity to be calculated at each parameter setting (before HFSS steps to the next parameter setting and erases the fieldmap), and be stored for plotting at the end. How can this be done?
I remember I have done it before (with earlier versions of HFSS), and the key was the usage of output variables. I slightly remember that I could construct my expression in the Calculator, and then store it as an output variable, and then this output variable was available for plotting in the Report generator. Now I simply do not find the way to create an output variable from a calculator expression.
My solution type is Eigenmode
In the menu HFSS>Results>Output variables:
Context/Report type: only option is 'Eigenmode Parameters'
Quantities/Category: Variables, Output Variables, Eigen Modes, Design, Expression Cache, Expression Converge
(Here I remember having a 'Calculator expressions' option before, now there is none)
In the Calculator there is also no possibility to export something as Output variable.
Could somebody please help me out?
Thank you

Just for the curiosity, I launched HFSS 12.0. There, under HFSS>Results>Output Variables, in the Context>Report type dropdown menu I could select 'Eigenmode parameters' and 'Fields', whereas in HFSS 14.0 there is only the former, but not 'Fields' (I opened the very same file, which I created in HFSS 12.0).
Also, when right-clicking Results in the project tree in HFSS12.0, there was
- Create Eigenmode Parameters Report
- Create Fields Report
In HFSS14.0 the second option doesn't exist anymore. So it seems
It seems that they removed the fields reporter from HFSS14.0? Any suggestion?
