3.5.5   Saved Data Objective

The Saved Data objective is in fact an option that allows optimising also other, less common parameters available from QuickWave simulation, like radiation efficiency or power dissipated in the object made of a lossy material. In this routine the user must provide an external program (application), defined as an External Program in the Preferences tab of Configure Optimiser dialogue, that will read the QuickWave files containing simulation results, extract an appropriate parameter (the one that should be optimised) and deliver it to QW-OptimiserPlus (by creating an output file) as a set of points (or a point, when considering power dissipated in the object) creating a curve that will be a subject to optimisation.

The simulation results that contain the required objective and which need to be saved by the QW-Simulator are obtained using breakpoints mechanism. The Configure… button invokes Breakpoints dialogue for defining an appropriate (for a given case) breakpoints, i.e. in the case that we are interested in radiation efficiency, which is saved in the antenna results files, the breakpoints saving antenna results files should be configured.
