Setting the Min. and Max. Variable Values for Optimization
For every optimization setup, Optimetrics automatically sets the minimum and maximum values it will consider for a variable being optimized. Optimetrics sets a variable's minimum value equal to approximately 50% of its starting value. (The starting value is the variable's current value set for the nominal design.) Optimetrics sets the variable's maximum value equal to approximately 150% of the starting value. During the optimization analysis, variable values that lie outside of this range are not considered.
Warning: Variable values
must be single real numbers, or expressions that evaluate to single real
numbers. Complex numbers cannot be used as the values of variables in
any optimetric analysis.
