Ability to caluclate/recommand more than 10 gates

[JasperJie]

Summary

Can we Calculate/recommand more than 10 gates in Gate location analysis solver

Problem:

Current software can only calucalte 1-10 gates for single part in Gate location analysis, while for some large/complex part with poor flow materials, it is not enough.

Solution Proposed:

1/ Adjust the Maximum value to 30

    We understand that the speed might be slow in calculating more than 10 gates, while it is better than NOT for complex model with 10+ gates.

As gate recommandation is actually much critical for such complex product, it could not be resolved by experience easily.

2/ Consider the previous (already set) gate location, then we can predict extra gates to get infinite gate location recommondation (e.g, previously set 10 gates, then we can ask solver to predicut extra 7 gates based on original design, then we can calculate 17 gates)

     There is another good idea submitted by other smart user as below.  🙂

There is a work around for this. I would recommend contacting [email protected] Regards, Tim

For the option to about the max number of gates that is controlled in dialog:

By a macro, you can go above that number.

Below code will use "15", instead of maximum 10 number of gates as max in dialog. (Dialog will be blank for parameter > 10)

It will increase analysis time.

SetLocale("en-us")
Set Synergy = CreateObject("synergy.Synergy")
Synergy.SetUnits "Metric"
Set PropEd = Synergy.PropertyEditor()
Set Prop = PropEd.FindProperty(40000, 1)
Set DVec = Synergy.CreateDoubleArray()
DVec.AddDouble 15
Prop.FieldValues 30575, DVec
PropEd.CommitChanges "Process Conditions"
