[SOLVED] optimization in ADE GXL

[ranran19870222]

Hello,

I am trying to do the optimization in ADE GXL. However, I couldn't find a way to optimize the variable which I have defined in the schematic. In the ADE GXL user guide, I could only find how to optimize parameters related to a transistor, but for my case, it is a biasing voltage (vdc), and the only device parameters related to it is called srcType. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can optimize the DC value of a voltage source in order to get an expected output which I have specified in the output setup?

Thank you.

You can optimize any parameter. Just define your biasing voltage as such:

Vbias (node+ node-) vdc dc=[I]vbias[/I]

Then define vbias as a parameter with a reasonable value and set its optimization limits.

Thank you. problem solved... i was mislead by the ade gxl user guide, and thought it can only do optimization on parameters. I just found out it can optimize variables directly.

I'd guess there's no difference between parameters and variables: A parameter can be variable ;-)
