  - Introduction
    The MotionSolve Optimization Guide explains the design sensitivity and optimization capabilities in MotionSolve.
  - Optimization Capabilities in MotionSolve
    Optimization capabilities in MotionSolve include equations of motion for a multibody system, design variables and limits, and analysis support.
  - Application Areas
    Optimization is a vast area that has a many applications in diverse areas such as engineering, economics, business and medicine.
  - Optimization Input Data
    The input data for an optimization is organized in a python parametric model class with methods that operate on the class.
  - Optimization Output Data
    Every optimization run generates a variety of files.
  - Advanced Topics
    Advanced topics include a scaling optimization problem and tips on how to debug optimization runs.
    - Scaling Optimization Problem
      We recommend that you scale your model before running an optimization problem with it.
    - Debugging Optimization Runs
      Occasionally, you may notice that the optimization step fails because of an error. In this section we look at strategies for successfully optimizing systems and debugging techniques to understand and fix the root cause of errors.
  - SLA Suspension Example
    This example, referred to as MV3010 in this section, describes the optimization of an SLA suspension and is also available in MotionSolve tutorial topics/solvers/ms/optimization_using_mv_hs_intro_r.html#optimization_using_mv_hs_intro_r.
  - PID Controller Example
    In this example, we are designing a PID controller whose job is to minimize the effects of a disturbance force on the position, velocity, and acceleration of a block.
  - Glossary
- Track Model
  A continuous track plug-in for tracked vehicles, such as bulldozers, excavators, robots, snowmobiles, and military vehicles.
