Parametric analysis
Minimum requirements to run a parametric
analysis
Minimum circuit design requirements
• Set up the circuit according to the swept variable type
as listed in Table 1
.
• Set up a DC sweep, AC sweep, or transient analysis.
Minimum program setup requirements
1 In the Simulation Settings dialog box, from the
Analysis type list box, select Time Domain (Transient).
2 Under Options, select Parametric Sweep if it is not
already enabled.
3 Specify the required parameters for the sweep.
