How can I do 'Save Fields and Mesh' in HFSS Optimetrics using PyAEDT?

[Dicksky]

Hello:) I am using HPC with the Slurm system to run my HFSS simulations, sometimes after running HPC doesn't give me any results if the convergence criterion is not fulfilled, I want to see the result of the last iteration, will the 'Save Fields and Mesh' function solve the problem? And how can I do it using PyAEDT?

@Dicksky From the description, I feel your question has got nothing to do with PyAEDT. You can reach out to Ansys Technical Support to determine what's going wrong in your simulations.
If you have any How To question on scripting certain functionality of AEDT, you can post here.

His second sentence is a direct PyAEDT question: How do you enable 'Save Fields and Mesh' for a parametric setup through PyAEDT?

I have also run into this problem. By default, the 'Save Fields and Mesh' option is disabled. I need it enabled so I can run far field reports on the variations. I'm using PyAEDT (specifically: Hfss.parametrics.add_from_file ) to pull in a CSV with my variations.

How do I enable 'Save Fields and Mesh' for a parametric setup through the PyAEDT API?

I don't know if the 'Save Fields and Mesh' will solve your problem, but here's how I figured out how to set the option:

hfss.get_oo_name(aedt_object=hfss.ooptimetrics) will give you the names of the parametric setups you have in your design

hfss.get_oo_properties(aedt_object=hfss.ooptimetrics,object_name='nameofparametricsetup') will give you the property names for PyAEDT, they often aren't the same as what is shown in the AEDT GUI.

hfss.get_oo_property_value(aedt_object=hfss.ooptimetrics, object_name='nameofparametricsetup', prop_name='SaveFields') gives you the current value of the 'Save Fields and Mesh' setting

hfss.set_oo_property_value(aedt_object=hfss.ooptimetrics, object_name='nameofparametricsetup', prop_name='SaveFields', value='True') will enable 'Save Fields and Mesh'
