In the Specification step, select a specification mode to run the study Setup with. Modify run data or add additional runs in the Run matrix.

 

Nominal Run

Runs one simulation where the input variable's values are set to the initial values.

 

System Bound Check

Checks the study setup and the design space using three runs. The first run sets all of the input variables to their nominal values, the second run sets all of the values to their lower bounds, and the third run sets all of the values to their upper bounds.

 

Sweep

Evaluates design alternatives for a study where the input variable values increase in equal increments. For example, the first run sets the input variables' values to their lower bounds, the last run sets the input variables' values to their upper bounds, and the runs in between will be set at equispaced incremental values that are determined by the number of runs you specified. By default, five simulations are ran.

In sweep study, the values for a discrete variable are iterated by index.  If the number of runs exceeds the maximum index of the discrete list, the indexing scheme returns to the first index in a periodic sense.
