The reevaluation wizard sets up a reevaluation system by guiding you through all necessary tasks. As much as possible, configurations and preferences are detected automatically. Use this wizard on any parametric/algorithm system containing design directories within its working directory. That way the path of design directories, design directory formats and design numbers can be found. None of the involved systems are modified and no data will be lost.
From the Wizards pane, drag the Reevaluation wizard on top of an existing parametric system in the Scenery pane and let it drop.
On the Reevaluation settings page, set the following:
Option Description Path to design directories Set the path to the design directories. The suggested path is the working directory of the original parametric system in optiSLang. If design directories are located elsewhere, click and browse to the location. Design directory format If required, modify the design directory format. The design directory format can be modified here. Default format is Design%04d. Any format containing a placeholder for integer numbers is valid. Integers might be represented by %d, %i, %x or %o. For several times in the path occurring numbers, use %1%. Some examples are: Design%04d finds Design0001 or Design0112
Design%1%/dp%1% finds Design1/dp1 or Design223/dp223
Design numbers List design numbers using all, [, -, ] or ;. These do not have to be consecutive, for example [1-3];5;[7-10]. Leaving this line empty means taking all designs. Merge data When selected, displays the following options: Path to monitoring database
Browse for the corresponding optiSLang monitoring database file.
Merge input data
If parameters have been removed from the system and
is selected, the removed parameter values are merged back from the monitoring database file into the design table. If it is not selected, these values will not appear in the design table.Merge output data
If responses or criteria have been added to the system, result designs display them regardless of selection. If items have been removed from the system and
is selected, result values of removed items are merged back from the monitoring database file into the result design table. If it is not selected, these values will not appear in the design table.
Dependent parameter handling Select from the following options: Does not make any changes to the parameters set. All dependent parameters are read as they are in file. They are not calculated.
Transforms all dependent parameters to parameters with type Opt.+Stoch. Values are read from file.
Removes all dependent parameters from the parameters set. Values will not be read.
On the Additional options page, set the following:
Option Description Show postprocessing during algorithm run When selected, opens postprocessing as soon as the minimum number of required designs are solved. Show postprocessing on algorithm termination When selected, the postprocessing opens after the algorithm is finished. Wait for user-interaction to continue When selected, waits for some user interaction before continuing the algorithm postprocessing. This is useful for certain workflows, for example, to deactivate designs and save a reduced data set. Show reduced data-set if available When selected, if a reduced data set with the name *_for_MOP.bin is available in the working directory, it is displayed. Note: Only save the reduced data set within the postprocessing of node Postprocessing (after algorithm termination). Modifications on the binfile (*.bin) or optiSLang monitoring database file (*.omdb) during calculations might be rejected.
Create MOP When selected, creates a MOP node connected either to the slot OReducedMDBPath of the Postprocessing node if any postprocessing option is selected, or to the slot OMDBPath of the sensitivity or robustness system if postprocessing is not to be shown. Click
