The Design Point Equation control is dedicated to perform parameter sweeps in Design Point (DP) simulations. It works similar to the off design Generic Schedule Equation control component. Complex relations among parameters can be specified using (parameter) expressions and can consist of 1-D and 2-D table look up values. For the free state property, an initial value needs to be given to the solver by the modeler (minimum and maximum values are optional). The solver will change this initial value as such that the expression is satisfied. Note that the numeric input data fields of the free state property are always specified in SI unity. Multiple DP equation controllers can be added to a configuration and each will add an equation to the solver system.

 

The DP equation control components can be used in conjunction with Case control components to specify Design Point series loops for the DP controlled parameter. Then the case controller controls the Design Point Equation control value.

 

This control may also be used if operation along limits is to be simulated since the Limiter component only works OD.
