Worst-case Design

The default setting in LS-OPT is that all design variables are treated as minimization variables. This means that the objective function is minimized (or maximized) with respect to all the variables. Maximization variables are selected in the Setup dialogs Parameter Setup panel by toggling the required variables from ‘Minimize’ to ‘Maximize’ in the Saddle Direction menu. This option is only available if Show advanced options is selected.
