Define a Parametric Optimetric with a specific calculation and a specific Range Function

[engineer366]

Hi Again!
I want to define a parametric optimetric and a specific calculation and a specific range function.
my sweep_variable is :

my calculation is:

and a specific range function:

as shown my function is pk2pk and Theta is sweeped from 0 to 90 deg.
the following code gives errors:
from ansys.aedt.core.modules.design_xploration import SetupParam a=SetupParam.add_variation(sweep_variable="feed_PC", start_point=0, end_point=50, step=1, units="mm", variation_type='LinearStep')
this is just for adding variation, but in the first step I get errors.

[engineer366]

can anybody help me?
I really appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks

@engineer366 Can you check if script recording functionality is helpful here ? You can reuse the recorded script with PyAEDT objects.

when I use the following code I just get unknown errors:
`
setup = hfss.create_setup("12_75")
setup.props["Frequency"] = "12.75GHz"
setup.props["MaxDeltaS"] = 0.02
setup.props["MaximumPasses"] = 15
setup.props["MinimumConvergedPasses"] = 2

from ansys.aedt.core.modules.design_xploration import SetupParam
a=SetupParam(hfss,name=["setup.name"],dictinputs=None,optim_type="OptiParametric")
a.delete()
`
I just used the delete() code to generate the error. the add_variation and add_calculation functions have the same results.

the following error is generated:
"Last Electronics Desktop Message - [error] script macro error: 12_75 is not a setup name (11:26:32 am feb 09, 2025)"
but my solution setup name is 12_75.

and the following code using Record Script:
hfss.set_oo_property_value(aedt_object=hfss.ooptimetrics, object_name="12_75", prop_name="Calculation", value="pk2pk(cang_deg(rETheta))")

this also doesn't work and returns False.

I didn't find anything in the PyAnsys what is the name in the SetupParam Class.

Hi @engineer366 @mahesh-dhanekula

The following snippet works for me:

from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss

app = Hfss()

setup_parametrics = app.parametrics.add("feed_pos",
                                        10.6,
                                        11,
                                        0.2,
                                        "LinearStep")

ranges = {
    "Theta": "85deg,86deg,87deg,88deg,89deg,90deg",
    "Phi": "0deg",
    "Freq": "1.8GHz"
}
setup_parametrics.add_calculation(
    calculation="pk2pk(cang_rad(rETheta))",
    ranges=ranges,
    report_type="Far Fields",
    context="Infinite Sphere1",
    solution=app.existing_analysis_sweeps[0],
)

app.release_desktop(False, False)
