Modifying the Starting Variable Value for Sensitivity Analysis
The design point of the sensitivity analysis is the starting value of the sensitivity variable; it is usually the first variation to be solved. Optimetrics sets the starting value of a variable to the current value set for the nominal design. You can modify the design point for each sensitivity setup.
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.
- In the Setup Sensitivity Analysis dialog box, click the Variables tab. All of the variables that were selected for the sensitivity analysis appear.
- Type a new value in the Starting Value text box for the value to override and press Enter.
The Override option is now selected. This indicates that the value you entered is to be used for this sensitivity analysis; the current value set for the nominal model will be ignored.
- Alternatively, you can select the Override option, then type a new variable value in the Starting Value text box.
- Optionally, click a new unit system in one of the Units text boxes.
To revert to the default starting value, clear the Override option.
