Robust Design

The robust design represents a script to compute the objective for robust design optimization based on the .NET programming language as Visual Basic or C#. Double-click on its symbol on the workflow editor to open the property window:

• General

• Name

  It is the name of the robust design. This name may be defined basically once time for the entire experiment.

   

• Unit

  It is the unit for objective.

   

• Comment

  The comment for the robust design.

   

• Weight

  The weight factor for this objective´of robust design optimization

   

• Objective

  The in the script editor defined objective should be compared by following options:

  • Greater than Limit

  • Less than Limit

  • Equal Limit

  • Minimized

  • Maximized

   

• Limit

  The value to compare with the calculated objective.

   

• Script-Language

  It is the programming language based on the NET. Framework technology to execute this intern script. Either "Visual Basic .Net" or "C# .Net" can be selected. The selected language is valid for the all nodes of experiment.

   

• Show Error

  User can specify if any error by executing the script will be displayed or not

   

• Script Editor

  User can define the objective for robust design optimization based on the .NET programming language as Visual Basic or C#. The meta-models of constraints and criteria in experiment can be used for this calculation. Available mathematical expressions and syntaxes for the script can be obtained from the .NET programming language description Visual Basic ort C#. Three variables are predefined: "OptiY", "Experiment" and "RDValue". At the end of the script, the variable "RDValue" must be assigned to a value.
