Too many Point Sweeps (>1 M) for ADE XL to handle

$

Hi,

I'm new to ADE XL, and  not sure whether I am asking a dumb question..

I'm trying to use ADE XL to sweep a parametric set of 10 variables, each having 5 values to sweep over. So effectively there should be only 5 runs of simulation. However, the "Run Summary" shows there will be 9.765625e+6 (i.e. 5^10) Points Sweeps which is over the hard limit of 1e+6. So cannot launch the job (Single Run, Sweeps and Corners), as below:

I am pretty sure I have already grouped the 10 variables into one parametric set. When I reduces the number of values per variable from 5 to 3 (thus the total point sweeps is now 3^10=59049 <1e+06 ), the job can be launched, and as expected only 3 runs of simulation.

I cannot believe ADE XL cannot handle the above simple user cases. So what mistake do I make? Thanks for help in advance!

Brayden
