HS-1710: Simple Optimization Study
Learn how to optimize a simple function defined using a Templex template.
The base input template defines two input variables, DV1 and DV2, labeled X and Y, respectively. The objective of the optimization is to minimize X + Y with the constraint 1/X + 1/Y – 2 < 0.
Run Optimization
-
Add an Optimization.
- In the Explorer, right-click and select Add from the context menu.
- In the Add dialog, select Optimization.
- For Definition from, select Setup and click OK.
- Go to the step.
- Click the Objectives/Constraints - Goals tab.
-
Add an objective.
- Click Add Goal.
- In the Apply On column, select Response 1 (r_1).
- In the Type column, select Minimize.

-
Add a constraint.
- Click Add Goal.
- In the Apply On column, select Response 2 (r_2).
- In the Type column, select Constraint.
- In column 1, select <= (less than or equal to).
- In column 2, enter 0.0.

- Go to the step.
-
In the work area, set the Mode to Adaptive
Response Surface Method (ARSM).
Note: Only the methods that are valid for the problem formulation are enabled.
- Click Apply.
- Go to the step.
- Click Evaluate Tasks.
- Optional: Click the different tabs in the Evaluate step to monitor the progress of the Optimization.
-
After the optimization has finished, review the optimization history
first.
Post Process Results
In the Post-Processing step of an Optimization approach, you can access additional tools to review the results. Use the Integrity, Distribution, and Scatter tabs to compare and analyze designs.
- Go to the step.
-
Click the Integrity tab to analyze statistics of the
optimization study.
