Optimization Output Node

When you have run an optimization an Output node appears in the optimization tree. When you select an Output node the Optimization Output views appear. The toolbar buttons at the output node determine what is displayed. The first view (shown by default) is the Solution view.

Optimization Output Node Toolbar

Export to Data Set -- Exports the table visible in the current view only to a new data set called Exported_Optimization_Data.

Solution View

The Solution view shows one solution at all operating points.

The following example shows a Solution view display. The yellow areas show a boundary constraint model exported from the Model Browser part of the Model-Based Calibration Toolbox. All constraint regions in optimization displays (as in the rest of the toolbox) are shown in yellow.

The Solution view shows one solution at all operating points in the set; you can scroll through the solutions using the arrows or edit box at the top. Click in the table to make the graphs display the objective functions at the selected operating point.

The table shows the selected solution at all operating points. Note that if you export the output to a data set (using the toolbar button) it is the current table that is exported. The graphs show the objective functions at the selected operating point, with the solution value in red.

Note that before you run an NBI optimization you can specify how many solutions you want the optimization to find, using the Set Up and Run Optimization toolbar button. For single-objective optimizations there is only one solution per operating point, so the Solution view is the only useful view.

For information on selecting best solutions at each operating point for subsequent export to a data set, see Selected Solution View.
