Configuring the Execution Options and Tuning Parameters

You use the Options tab to define options for executing the Target Solver component. In addition, you can set the technique’s tuning parameters. Isight provides the Standard Solver technique by default.

If you are using your own technique, refer to the documentation for that technique. For information about adding a technique through a plug-in, contact your SIMULIA representative.

  1. Double-click the Target Solver component icon .

    The Target Solver Component Editor appears.

  2. From the Target Solver Component Editor, click the Options tab.

    The technique and execution options appear.

  3. Set the tuning parameter values:

    Option Description
    Maximum Evaluations This value sets the maximum number of design evaluations you want the Target Solver component to run. The type of this value is integer. The default value is 10. Other possible values are ≥1.
    Target Tolerance This value sets the termination criterion for the Target Solver component. The type of this value is real. The default value is 1.0E-6. Other possible values are >0 and  ≤ 0.1.

  4. Set the following options:

    Option Description
    Execute evaluations in parallel when possible This option controls how the design points execute. If selected, design points execute in parallel, in small batches. The size of the batch depends on the number of selected design variables.
    Disable Target Solver (execute a single run) If this option is selected, the subflow executes only one time. This is useful in models that need to turn the driver logic on/off parametrically. This option is also helpful in debugging the process.

  5. If desired, map the technique options and the Disable Target Solver (execute a single run) options to parameters. For more information, see Mapping Options and Attributes to Parameters.

  6. Click OK to save your changes and to close the Target Solver Component Editor.
