Configuring the Objectives

You use the Objectives tab to select the parameters that will be used as objectives during execution.

  1. From the Optimization Component WebTop Editor, click the Objectives tab.

  2. Perform the following actions, which may vary based on your model design:

    1. Determine which parameters you want to use as objectives by selecting the corresponding check boxes in the first column. Alternatively, you can click Check All to add all the selected objectives (including array elements). To clear all the parameters, click Check None.

      When a subflow parameter is selected as an objective, a corresponding parameter is created in the Optimization component.

    2. Click the Direction column to specify whether or not you want to minimize the objective, maximize the objective, or set a target for the objective.
    3. If you selected target in the Direction column, set the objective’s target in the corresponding column.
    4. Set the objective’s Scale Factor and Weight Factor in the corresponding columns.

  3. Click Update Component to save your changes.
