Parametric sweep - initial guess

Hello,
I have an AC/DC model where I want to see the state for different positions of a magnet (I'm using Comsol 4.1).
I can simulate with no problem all these different positions alone.
I made a parametric sweep to be able to plot some results depending on the magnet's position.
However in the sweep, the solver cannot converge for the second value.
I think it comes from the inital values, as in the sweep it takes the solutions from the previous results as initial guess.
Is it possible to force it to take the same initial values for each parameter step ? (I couldn't find in the documentation).
Or can I make this differently ?
Thanks !
Patrick

Hi
If you use an "external" parametric sweep it restarts normally from the initial position (default zero) , if you use a solver "Extension Continuation" sweep it will normally start from previous step
At least that is what I have understood

Good luck

Thanks for the reply.
As it doesn't work with both, then the problem must be something else :-/
I'll keep testing...
