Optimization

Home Screen Process Flowchart

1. Double click on the Optimization box.                                                                 

A window Algorithms shall open.

Add Objective

1. Select the Objectives tab.
2. From Response select HIC as the objective.

Define Objective

1. For Weight leave the default 1. If you have several objective functions, you may assign weight to each one according to their importance.

Add Constraints.

1. Select the Constraints tab.
2. From Composites select Intrusions as the Optimization constraints.                         

Set bounds for Constraints.

1. Select Set Upper Bound and enter 550.

Optimization Algorithm.

1. Select the Algorithms tab. Here, the algorithm used for the optimization on the metamodel can be selected.
2. Make sure that the radio button for Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) is selected and Switch to LFOP is checked. These are the default settings.     
   
3. Click on the OK button to proceed.
