You can use the Design of Experiments command to perform virtual experiments taking into account as
many parameters as needed. In the example below, you are going to optimize a pad.
Create a representation
identical to the one below.
From the
Compass, click
3D Modeling
Apps
and select Design Optimization.
Click Design of Experiments.
The Design of Experiments tab opens.
Click
Edit List
to select the input parameters.
Select the
OzLength, OxLength, OyLength parameters, move
them to the Selected parameters column using
and click OK.
In the Select input parameters
box, select the OzLength parameter and click
.
Enter the following data in the dialog box and click
OK.
Inferior Range
20
mm
Superior Range
120mm
Number of Levels
6mm
Apply the following values to the OxLength parameter:
Inferior Range
30
mm
Superior Range
150mm
Number of Levels
10mm
Apply the following values to the OyLength parameter:
Inferior Range
10
mm
Superior Range
100mm
Number of Levels
4mm
In the Select output parameters box, click Edit List to select the output parameters.
Select the OxyArea, and the
PadVolume parameters using and
click OK.
Check the Save curves in the output file and click
to launch the analysis.
Type the name of the representation and click OK. The analysis starts and the Running algorithm ... dialog box appears.
When the analysis is finished, select the Results tab.
The number of results appearing in the Table of Experiments matches the number of updates (see the Settings tab).
Important:
You can apply the values of the table to the parameters. To do so,
select one line in the Table of Experiments and click Apply
these values.
From the Select one curve scrolling list, select Plot
mean effect of 'OyLength' on the output : PadVolume.
