What Are Appropriate Optimizations?

The list of all optimizations in the project is filtered. To be eligible for selection,

• The optimization must be ready to run (toolbar button enabled). The exception to this is when the primary operating point set has not been selected yet; it is selected in step 4 (see Using Automated Tradeoff) when you choose to apply an optimization to a region in a tradeoff table. The set of cells in the region you have selected becomes the operating point set for the optimization.
• The variables in the axes of the tradeoff tables must not be free variables in the optimization. For example, if one of the axes is speed, then speed cannot be a free variable.
• If the primary operating point set specifies the variables that must appear in it, then these must be a subset of the variables in the axes of the tradeoff tables. For example, if the primary operating point set requires variables Speed and Load, then these must be the axes variables in the tradeoff table.

Multimodel Tradeoff

For a multimodel tradeoff, things work slightly differently. The multimodel is only defined for certain cells in the tradeoff tables. These are the operating points that were modeled using the Model Browser part of the toolbox. Such cells are colored purple, and you should select these for running the automated tradeoff. You can select any region, but the optimization can only find values for the operating points defined by the multimodel.
