About the Design of Experiments Tool

The Design of Experiments command is designed to enable you to perform virtual experiments by taking as many parameters as needed into account.

Using the Design of Experiments Tool

It enables you to:

  • Find interactions between parameters.
  • Make predictions
  • Identify which parameter is the most influential


To analyze a given system (see below), you select the input parameters, define ranges of study, indicate the nodes of the network used to perform the analysis, and finally the output parameters (output evaluation.)



The system performs an analysis based on the computations done for each node of the network and produces graphics showing the effects of each factor on each output and the effects of each couple of parameters on each output. The results of the analysis are stored in an output file (Excel file under tabs and text file for all operating systems). Note that the generated graphics can be stored in Excel files.
