DESIGN VARIABLE

Type

AcuSolve Command

Syntax

DESIGN_VARIABLE {parameters}

Qualifier

This command has no qualifier.

Parameters

initial_value (real) [=0.0]

Initial value assigned to the design variable.

lower_bound (real) [=-1.0]

Lower bound of design variable.

upper_bound (real) [=1.0]

Upper bound of design variable.

max_update_factor (real) [=0.05]

Max relative step change allowed for the design variable to change between iterations. The max update factor is relative to the upper_bound and the lower_bound difference.

supervised_training (array) [={1.0}]

Manual supervised training is used as input data to create a so called response surface. The corresponding response function values are computed by AcuSolve for the given input training data. The response surface is constructed using a Gaussian Process, which essentially is a function approximating the response values as a function of the design variables.
