Using Solution
Introduction
SimLab enables users to solve complex problems involving multiple physical parameters. DOE allows to study the impact of those parameters. Users can select a solution to define DOE. SimLab automatically picks up the parameters used in the solution. These parameters include initial condition, boundary condition, material properties, and other relevant input.
Select a solution to set up DOE. This will create a DOE solution in the solution browser. That will guide to setup and execute experiments.
The “Execute Options” in RMB click on “Settings” allows to define the number of processors to run experiments in parallel.
Double-clicking “Design Variables” in the DOE solution will list all the parameters that are associated with the solution and its coupled solutions. The “DOE” column in this table allows the user to select parameters that the user wants to include for experiments.
“Continuous” and “Discrete” are two different modes to define the parameter. “Continuous” mode allows the definition of range and number of levels in between. “Discrete” mode allows the definition of multiple discrete values.
The experiments table can be displayed by clicking on “Experiments” in the Analysis ribbon. This will show a table with a set of experiments created based on the parameters defined. This table allows users to add/remove experiments and change the parameter value.
The “Update” option in RMB click on “Results” in the DOE solution start executing the experiments. The status of each experiment will be updated in the DOE table. User can select a maximum of 4 experiments by selecting the row to open the database by clicking “Open Database”.
