Optimetrics Analysis Optimetrics Analysis – Optimetrics Analysis can be used to perform design studies where input variable variations affect the output – Input parameters can be any geometrical or excitation parameter while output parameter can be any postprocessing quantity – Following analyses can be add under Optimetrics Parametric Analysis: ? Allows users to setup variation in single or multiple input variables over the specified range and assign output quantities Optimization: ? Allows users to define a goal of the analysis ? Goal can be to minimize/maximize/seek targeted value of the output quantity ? Input variables are varied in order to achieve the specified goal Sensitivity: ? Identifies which of the defined input variables have more influence in variation of Output parameters compared to the rest Statistical: ? Allows users to input statistical distribution of input variables and provides statistical distribution of Output quantities Tuning ? Can be used to fine tune the results of a parametric analysis ? Allows users to change input parameters interactively while monitoring design performance ? 2013 ANSYS, Inc. May 21, 2013 4 Release 14.5 B.
