=== EM.Picasso's Simulation Modes ===
EM.Picasso offers five Planar MoM simulation modes (click on each type to learn more about it):

You can set the simulation mode from EM.Picasso's "Simulation Run Dialog". A single-frequency analysis is a single-run simulation. All the other simulation modes in the above list are considered multi-run simulations. If you run a simulation without having defined any observables, no data will be generated at the end of the simulation. In multi-run simulation modes, certain [[parameters]] are varied and a collection of simulation data files are generated. At the end of a sweep simulation, you can graph the simulation results in EM.Grid or you can animate the 3D simulation data from the navigation tree.
