Optimetrics Setup in AEDT Icepak
Hello, welcome to an Ozen Engineering video. Today, we're going to discuss how to quickly parameterize a solution in AEDT Icepak. I'll use a very simple example to demonstrate this process.
Objective
Once our model is set up, our goal is to run simulations at three different ambient temperature conditions. To achieve this, we'll define OptiMetrics to perform these runs.
Steps to Parameterize the Solution
- Define the Parameter
- Navigate to ISPAC and access the Design Settings.
- In the first tab, labeled Ambient Conditions, replace the temperature with a new variable name: T-Ambient.
- Confirm by clicking OK.
- When prompted, add a variable with an initial value of 60 degrees Celsius to simulate an extremely hot condition. Click OK.
- Activate OptiMetrics
- Expand the Project Manager and locate the OptiMetrics option.
- Right-click and select Add Parametric.
- This will open the Setup Sweep Analysis window.
- Define the Sweep
- Choose to perform a sweep in ambient temperature by clicking Add a Sweep.
- The variable T-Ambient will be displayed. If there are other variables or parameters, they will also appear in this list.
- Select a Linear Step from 30 to 90 degrees Celsius with steps of 10 degrees Celsius.
- After entering the values, click Add and then OK to define the sweep.
Conclusion
Now, when we analyze this model using Analyze All, it will sweep through the multiple cases from 30 to 90 degrees Celsius.

Hello, welcome to an OZEN engineering video. Today we're going to talk about how to quickly parameterize a solution in AEDT Icepak. I'm going to use a very simple example for this. Once our model is set up, what we want to do is run this at three different ambient temperature conditions.
So I'm going to define OptiMetrics to do this set of runs. The first step is to go ahead and define our parameter. Let's go to Icepak and now we're going to go under design settings. This is going to bring up our conditions. The first tab will be ambient conditions.
So instead of temperature, I'm going to put in a new variable name. I'm just going to call it T\_Ambient and then hit OK. Once I do that, automatically it's going to ask me if I want to add a variable. And then let's put an initial value of 60 degrees C.
So it's going to be some extremely hot condition and let's hit OK. Now that we defined our variable, let's turn on OptiMetrics. So let's expand our project manager. You can see the OptiMetrics option here. I'm going to do a right mouse click and then select add parametric.
So once I do that, it's going to bring up our options. You can see the setup sweep analysis. So I want to do a sweep in ambient temperature. I'm just going to go ahead, click add a sweep. And then automatically it shows us our variable.
If there are any other variables, they'll be in this list or any other parameters. So what we can do is we can do a linear step. For example, we can go start from 30 to 90 degrees C, and then we're going to have steps of 10 degrees C.
But once I put that number in, the add option appears, I'm going to click on it. OK. And now you can see our sweep defined. And we're going to hit OK. So now when we analyze this model. If we do analyze all, it's going to sweep through these multiple cases from 30 to 90 degrees C.
So that concludes our brief presentation for today. Thanks for your interest. And if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [flam.com](mailto:flam.com). And I'll see you in the next video. Thanks for watching. Bye-bye.
