Sensitivity-Directed Refinement (SDR) is aimed at obtaining structurally simple designs, typically with no thin layers. This goal is achieved due to refining not all layer thicknesses simultaneously but only thicknesses of those layers that have been already released for optimization. The number of layers that are released at each iteration of SDR option is specified at a special SDR Settings window: Synthesis > Sensitivity-Directed Refinement Complimentary to refinement procedures, the SDR option can perform also needle optimization.
