Perform Studies
A study is a self-contained project in which models, variables, output responses, and approaches are defined.
Setup the Study
Before you can create approaches you must first setup your Study by defining input variables and output responses.
Define Definition
Define the models, input variables, and output responses to be used in the study.
Define Output Responses
An output response is a measurement of system performances, such as weight, volume, displacement, stress, strain, reaction forces, and frequency.
Add Media Sources
Media sources contain images produced by processes in their respective run directory. Supported image formats are *jpg, *jpeg, *bmp, and *.png. HyperStudy supports all simulation file formats that are supported by HyperView.

Perform Studies
A study is a self-contained project in which models, variables, output responses, and approaches are defined.
- Setup the Study
  Before you can create approaches you must first setup your Study by defining input variables and output responses.
  - Edit Files
    Use the Editor to create and edit template files, parameterize ASCII files, create variables or shape templates, recognize and edit Templex statements in files, execute parameterized files, and perform advanced editing.
  - Define Definition
    Define the models, input variables, and output responses to be used in the study.
    - Define Models
      A model is part of a study. It is the model of the system that is subjected to a study.
    - Define Input Variables
      An input variable is a system parameter that influences the system performance in the chosen output response. It is an object that is varied by the study based on certain rules.
    - Test Models
      Write input files, execute analysis, and extract output responses for models defined in the study Setup.
    - Define Output Responses
      An output response is a measurement of system performances, such as weight, volume, displacement, stress, strain, reaction forces, and frequency.
      - Add and Remove Output Responses
        Output responses can be created manually or automatically using the File Assistant.
      - Build Output Response Expression using the Expression Builder
        Build a mathematical expression that defines the output response using the Expression Builder.
      - Define Data Sources
        Data sources contain data obtained with various result readers technologies, such as file sources, ascii extract, and readsim.
      - Define Goals (Objectives/Constraints)
        Goals are used to define objectives and constraints.
      - Define Gradients
        Gradients calculate the change of the output responses with respect to the input variables. The gradient information can be used in gradient enabled methods inside of a DOE, Fit, Optimization, or Stochastic approaches.
      - Add Media Sources
        Media sources contain images produced by processes in their respective run directory. Supported image formats are *jpg, *jpeg, *bmp, and *.png. HyperStudy supports all simulation file formats that are supported by HyperView.
- Setup the Approaches
  Once the study Setup is complete, an unlimited combination of approaches can be added to a study. A study approach is a specific set of steps taken to study the mathematical model of a design.
Learn the Approaches
Each approach in HyperStudy serves a different purpose in the design study.
Customize HyperStudy
Customize HyperStudy by registering solver scripts, functions, and optimizers, and defining user preferences files.

Add Media Sources

Media sources contain images produced by processes in their respective run directory. Supported image formats are *jpg, *jpeg, *bmp, and *.png. HyperStudy supports all simulation file formats that are supported by HyperView.

In the Define Output Responses step, click the Media Sources tab.

Tip: The Media Sources tab is not shown by default. Click and select Media Sources to make it visible.
Complete one of the following options to add a media source.
- Manually add them by clicking Add Media Source.
  A new media source is created and added to the work area. Image and result file must be picked.
- Automatically add them by clicking Find Media.
  This will scan each run directory and automatically add images to the work area.
