Extracting optimization setup data

[markmaxed]

Is there a way to extract data such as the ones listed below, from the optimetrics optimization setup dialog box on an HFSS Design? I am using Python and my intentions are to use a custom external optimizer. When the designer inputs these data in the optimization setup, my program would extract them and use them to feed my external optimizer to know what the designer wants to optimize.

If you open the optimization setup box, you'll find these types of data (also what I want to extract, although I can't find any function in the API reference that allows me to do it):

general tab:

• solution calculation (sweep, lastAdaptive, ...)
• calculation: S11, Gain, ...
• range: range of freq
• condition: <=, =, =>, maximize, minimize
• goal: numerical value or an expression
• weight
• max nb of iterations
• acceptable cost (numerical)

variables tab:

• variable name
• starting value (project/global variable)
• units
• include (true/false)
• min (numerical)
• units
• max (numerical)
• units
