Adding Tables

To quickly create tables from a model, use the table creation wizard. See Creating Tables From a Model.

Otherwise you can add a table using the File > New menu items, as described below.

To add tables, you can first select the Tables view, or CAGE automatically switches to this view if you add a table using the File > New menu items.

The Tables view lists all the tables and normalizers in the current CAGE session.

To add a table to a session,

1. Decide whether you want to add a one- or a two-dimensional table.

   For example if you want to add a modifier table to account for the variation in exhaust gas recirculation, add a one-dimensional table (which has one input). If, however, you want to add a table with speed and load as its normalizer inputs, then add a two-dimensional table.

2. Select File > New > 1D Table or File > New > 2D Table as appropriate.

   Adding new tables automatically switches you to the Tables view.

3. In the Table Setup dialog you can enter the table name, number of rows and columns and initial value, and select the input variable (or variables) from the drop-down menus.

4. Click OK to add the new table. CAGE automatically initializes the normalizers of the table by spacing the breakpoints evenly over the ranges of the selected input variables.

   Note   You can also select Tools > Calibration Manager to change the size of a table. For information, see Setting Up Tables.

You can rename tables by first selecting the table, then

• Press F2, or

• Select Edit > Rename.

You can manually calibrate by entering values in any table. You can also fill tables using experimental data or optimization output by going to the Data Sets view; see Tutorial: Filling Tables from Data in the Getting Started documentation.

Duplicating Tables

To copy a table or a normalizer from a session,

1. Select the Tables view.

2. Highlight the required table or normalizer.

3. Select Edit > Duplicate table_name (`table_name' is the currently selected table).

See also CAGE Import Tool to add existing tables from other CAGE project files.

Deleting Tables

When you are calibrating a collection of tables using either Feature or Tradeoff calibrations, you cannot easily delete tables without affecting the entire calibration. When deleting items, you must delete from the highest level down. For example, you cannot delete a table that is part of a feature; you must delete the feature first.

To delete a table or a normalizer from a session,

1. Select Tables view.

2. Highlight the required table or normalizer.

3. Click  ; or press Delete; or select Edit > Delete table_name (`table_name' is the currently selected table).
