1.1.2 Run
QW-Simulator Run tab is arranged in sections enabling basic file operations like loading projects, defining Breakpoints, and starting and managing simulation process.
Project section
Project section contains the following commands:
- opens QW-Simulator tasker, parameters, shape or freeze file
- shows the list of projects that have been recently loaded. See Preferences chapter for more information about setting the number of recent files.
- opens tasker file (*.ta3)
- opens freeze file (*.sfr)
- opens shape file (*.sh3)
- opens and edits project description file
- edits current tasker file
- opens Import Recent Files dialogue for importing recent files list from other version of QuickWave
- clears the list of projects that have been recently loaded
- clears the list and settings of windows that have been opened
Freeze section
Freeze section contains the following command:
- saves the current simulation state to the freeze file
Run Simulation section
Run Simulation section contains the following commands:
- starts the simulation in multisource mode - available only for multisource models which is standard situation for Antenna Array models
- starts the simulation
- stops the simulation
- suspends the simulation
- resumes the simulation
- executes one FDTD iteration of the current simulation
- opens Batch Run dialogue for configuration of batch simulations
- sets system priority of QW-Simulator process
Breakpoints section
Breakpoints section contains the following command:
- opens Breakpoints dialogue for breakpoints configuration
Create section
Create section contains the following commands:
- creates the simulation but does not start the calculation (see Step by step simulation execution)
- deletes created simulation
Next section
Next section contains the following commands:
- switches to the next task defined in the task list
- switches to the next available post-processing and sets it as current (the name of the current post-processing is displayed in the status bar)
Template section
Template section contains the following commands:
- activates the test mode of the template mode generation – the 2D/3D Fields Distribution window will be displayed for each process of template mode generation
- opens 2D/3D Fields Distribution windows with all generated template mode fields distribution
Slow Down section
Slow Down section contains the following commands:
- opens Slow Down dialogue for switching on or off the simulation slow down
- switches on or off and sets the size of simulation slow down
Manual BHM section
Manual BHM section contains the following commands:
- opens BHM Settings dialogue for manual BHM heating pattern construction
- opens BHM Settings dialogue for invoking manual BHM heating
Point Excitation section
Point Excitation section contains the following command:
- contains commands for modifying internal impedance of lumped sources/probes:
- opens Automatic Z Changing dialogue for automatic modification of internal impedance of lumped sources/probe
- increases internal impedance at a particular time instant: the output impedance will be multiplied by a factor of 1.01
- decreases internal impedance at a particular time instant: the output impedance will be divided by a factor of 1.01
Change section
Change section contains the following command:
- opens Change Frequency/Amplitude dialogue for changing the frequency and amplitude of the excitation in the BHM heating process
Waveform section
Waveform section contains the following command:
- opens 1D Fields window(s) and displays excitation waveform of all sources
Help section
Help section contains the following command:
- opens help for Run commands (present chapter)
