create_frequency_sweep#

SetupQ3D.create_frequency_sweep(unit=None, start_frequency=0.0, stop_frequency=20.0, num_of_freq_points=None, name=None, save_fields=True, sweep_type='Discrete', interpolation_tol=0.5, interpolation_max_solutions=250)[source]#

Create a sweep with the specified number of points.

Parameters:

unitstr, optional: Frequency units. The default is None, in which case the default desktop units are used.
start_frequencyfloat, str, optional: Starting frequency of the sweep. The default is 0.0. If a unit is passed with the number, such as``”1MHz”``, the unit is ignored.
stop_frequencyfloat, str, optional: Stopping frequency of the sweep. The default is 20.0. If a unit is passed with the number, such as "1MHz", the unit is ignored.
num_of_freq_pointsint: Number of frequency points in the range. The default is 401 for a sweep type of "Interpolating" or "Fast". The default is 5 for a sweep type of "Discrete".
namestr, optional: Name of the sweep. The default is None, in which case a name is automatically assigned.
save_fieldsbool, optional: Whether to save the fields. The default is True.
sweep_typestr, optional: Type of the sweep. Options are "Fast", "Interpolating", and "Discrete". The default is "Discrete".
interpolation_tolfloat, optional: Error tolerance threshold for the interpolation process. The default is 0.5.
interpolation_max_solutionsint, optional: Maximum number of solutions evaluated for the interpolation process. The default is 250.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modules.solve_sweeps.SweepQ3D or bool: Sweep object if successful, False otherwise.
