Stop sweep when a probe value decreases

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

I was introduced to the "stop condition" in parametric sweeps (see attached). Is it possible to make a sweep stop when a probe value for the new solution is smaller than that from the preveous solution?

Thanks, Jacob

Hi Jacob

If I understand you question correct then, yes you can. You can see a very simple example in the attached model. I use a Global ODE to store “Tnew” in a new dependent variable “Told” and to make “Told” the previous solution I add a “Previous Solution” node under the parametric solver step (same place as you “Stop condition”.

Best regards Thure
