Response Surface 3D Plot

This plot shows the approximated values for the selected response or objective data function using both selected input parameters. If there are more than two input parameters used in the selected model, the remaining input parameter values for calculating the approximation surface are defined by the sliders in the Parameter Values section of the common settings. You can also shift the visualized subspace to a selected support point using the support point layer context menu options. If there are active designs not used as support points in the selected model, they are shown as additional designs in an extra layer here.

You can also display some local values like the CoP, approximation errors, or the support point density as color (palette data) on the approximated surface. For the local CoP or approximation error values, the respective values of the support points are interpolated.
