Resetting systems deletes all designs and clears the current working directory including binfiles (*.bin) and optiSLang monitoring database files (*.omdb) by default for systems. The database is not reset.
Right-click a system in the Scenery pane and select from the context menu.
In the Reset dialog box, you can optionally refine what system data to clear. To do so, click .
Option Description Current Discard already calculated data When selected, all calculated data is deleted. Clear working directory When selected, the working directory is cleared. Keep randomization seed for replay When selected, the randomization seed is kept for replay mode. Successors Reset successors When selected, resets all successors to the selected system. Active only When selected, resets only active successors. Discard already calculated data When selected, all calculated data is deleted. Clear working directory When selected, the working directory is cleared. Keep randomization seed for replay When selected, the randomization seed is kept for replay mode. Another option to delete design directories before running again is the Other tab of algorithm dialog boxes. You can define whether design directories will be removed before running to avoid inconsistent data.
check boxes on theKeeping result data after modifying settings should be used carefully.
Modifying algorithm settings:
You should only keep results if settings have changed that do not influence the calculation (for example, number of samples, to add samples to previously calculated samples). If changing settings such as Mutation Rate, Step Sizes or different algorithm methods (for example, Selection, Mutation, and Sampling) calculations are different in general. In this case, clear previously calculated data and start over.
Modifying parameters or criteria:
After changing parameter properties, adding/removing parameters, or modifying criteria, all generated data becomes invalid and should be deleted before running the project again.
