Overview

Automatically create design variables and DVPREL's for sizing optimization of selected PBARL/PBEAML, for a given DIMENSION of the cross section.

Usage/Installation Instructions

  1. Run the script in File>>Run>>TLC script.
  2. Select PBARL/PBEAML properties.
  3. Define the initial value.
  4. Define the lower bound.
  5. Define the upper bound.
  6. Define the cross section Dimension Field to be optimized.

 

Limitation

  • Dimension field specified must be correct and must exist (DIM1, DIM2, ...).
  • Works only for PBARL and PBEAML properties
  • Initial value, lower bound and upper bound consistency are not checked before creating the desvars
