Creating an Optimization

The following procedure helps you create an optimization according to the optimization mode defined.

To create an optimization:

  1. From the Light Simulation tab, click Optimization .
  2. In the General section, in the Mode drop-down list, select the optimization mode to use:

    • Random search: the optimization algorithm based on the Merit function.
    • Design of experiment: allows you to use an generated excel file based on the variable you selected so that you can directly define all values for each variable.
    • Plugin: allows you to add your own optimization plugin for more flexibility.
  3. In the 3D view, click and select the simulation to be optimized.
Follow the next procedure for Random search, Design of experiment, or Plugin according to the optimization mode selected.
