Giving material properties as parameters

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,
I wanted to know if it is possible to give material properties as parameters. I wish to perform a parametric sweep with the dielectric constant as my paramater in an electrostatics model. But I am unable to define the parameters and the error "Unknown variable mod1.mat5.epsilonr" is popping up.

Hi,
I think you can try by the following steps:
1. Define the dielectric constant in Global Definitions as parameter, as e for example.
2. Fill e in the dielectric constant blank in material properties.
3. Add parametric sweep in Study 1, select e and define the range.
