To prepare to carry out an optimization, select Run | Optimization... from the main menu (there is also an Optimization button in the Advanced toolbar). The following dialog will be displayed:
Note: You can only run an optimization from Edit Mode The state of a model when it is being edited and does not contain simulation results.. You cannot run an optimization if the model is in Result Mode The state of a model when it has been run and contains simulation results for a single set of input parameters..
Defining the optimization settings requires three steps:
- Specifying the objective function and any constraints;
- Specifying the optimization variables; and
- Setting the optimization precision.
These three steps are described in the
