What does auxiliary sweep play role in time-dependent study? It is very useful in the steady study when the variable is too large. However, the continuation cannot work. What situation is proper for us to apply auxiliary sweep?
In product development, it is often necessary to solve several variations of a model to find its design's optimal properties. Instead of manually changing these property values and re-solving each time, you can perform a parametric sweep with COMSOL Multiphysics®. A parametric sweep allows you to change the parameter values through a specified range. Hope that helps.
I tried the auxiliary sweep function for time-dependent recently. When you want to do the parameter study, you can apply this function. In my case, I applied a multistep dynamic study. It turns out this function is not suitable for a multistep study, but I assume it works for a stationary study and a single time-dependent study.
Usually, the auxiliary sweep is used when loading is too high to give unstable results, therefore, through sweep those are increased slowly ~ provided that in the intervals of auxiliary sweep the solution is time-independent.
