Setting the Initial Displacement

The initial displacement is the difference in a variable's starting value and the next solved design variation. During the sensitivity analysis, Optimetrics does not consider an initial variable value that is greater than this step size away from the starting variable value.

1. In the Setup Sensitivity Analysis dialog box, click the Variables tab.
2. Optimetrics displays the Initial Disp. column, with default values for each sensitivity variable.
3. In the Initial Disp. text box, type the initial displacement value. Optionally, modify the unit system in the Units text box.
