Adapters

The adapter options let you customize specific adapter preferences for the Automation Process Composer and Optimization Process Composer apps.

This page discusses:

Calculator Preferences

Display Mode
Choose the default editor mode: Expand or Collapse.

By default, The editor opens in Expand mode.

Allow exceptional values (NaN, Infinity)
By default, the Calculator adapter stops and displays an error if any function or operator returns a real result with an exceptional value. The exceptional values are Inf, -Inf, or NaN. If you do not select this option, the Calculator adapter continues and returns the exceptional values.

OS Command Preferences

Consider execution failed if there is output to Standard Error Stream
The adapter automatically enables the option to consider the execution failed if any output is written to the Standard Error Stream. Some programs (for example, Abaqus) write output to the standard error stream even when it was a successful execution. For convenience, it can be useful to clear this option, which specifies the default values in any new OS command adapter. This option is selected by default, and can be edited in the Execution Options of the OS Command Editor.

Monte Carlo Preferences

Preselect all statistics to create output parameters
In Optimization Process Composer, a Monte Carlo simulation creates output parameters for selected statistical measures. Select this option to automatically designate all statistical measures to add an output parameter. You can select or clear statistics for parameter creation from the Statistics tab of the Monte Carlo Editor.
