BlueM.Opt Usage

BlueM.Opt | Usage | Development

Demonstration videos

• Basics: demonstration using a mathematical test case
• Simulation-based optimization: demonstration using a simulation model
• SensiPlot: demonstration of sensitivity analysis
• Hybrid: demonstration of simultaneous optimization of both continuous and nominally discrete variables

Quickstart

1. Start BlueM.Opt.exe
2. Select an App (e.g. BlueM.Sim)
3. Select an appropriate Dataset
4. Select a Method (algorithm) (e.g. PES or SensiPlot)
5. optionally adjust or load the settings
6. Press the Start button

Notes

BlueM.Opt creates copies of the dataset for performing the simulations. The original dataset is only modified in the following two cases:

1. when using SensiPlot
2. when selecting a solution and reevaluating that solution for displaying the hydrographs in Wave.

During normal optimization, only the copies of the dataset are manipulated. These copies are located in the directory containing <BlueM.Opt.exeand are called Thread_01, Thread_02, etc.
