`OptimisationGoalCollection`

A collection of optimisation operators.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:Load({FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Dipole_Optimisation.cfx]]})

    -- Check if the optimisation goal collection contains one with the label "FarFieldGoal1"

containsGoal = project.Optimisation.Searches["Search1"].Goals:Contains("FarFieldGoal1")

Inheritance

The OptimisationGoalCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The OptimisationGoalCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Collection lists
- OptimisationCombination object has collection Goals.
- OptimisationSearch object has collection Goals.

Property List

Count: The number of OptimisationOperator items in the collection. (Read only number)
Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

AddCombinedGoal (properties table): Create a combined optimisation goal. (Returns a OptimisationCombination object.)
AddCombinedGoal (properties table, goals List of OptimisationOperator): Create a combined optimisation goal. (Returns a OptimisationCombination object.)
