Responses Reference
The following properties and right-click actions are available for responses.
Responses Properties
Not available for CAD Robustness studies.
- Response
- Sets the reports from the reference simulation to use as responses for the design study. See Study Outputs—Responses.
[response] Properties
- Reference Report (read only)
- Displays the associated report in the reference simulation.
- Is Objective (only for Optimization and Sweep studies)
- When On,
instructs Design Manager to use the response as
an objective for the design study.
Activating this property activates the Objective Properties child node with the following properties.
- Objective Properties Properties
-
- Goal
- Sets the analysis goal for the selected response. You can choose to Minimize or Maximize the value of the response.
- Normalization Type
- Sets the type of normalization to use for the selected response. The specified value determines the normalization value in the performance evaluation of each design (see Eqn. (547)).
- Weight
- Allows you to take into account the difference in importance between objectives. For example, the mass of a cooling device can be of less importance than its cooling rate.
- Is Constraint (not for DOE studies)
- When On,
instructs Design Manager to use the response as
a constraint for the design study.
Activating this property activates the Constraint Properties child node with the following properties.
- Constraint Properties Properties
-
- Type
- Sets the type of the constraint. You can set a Minimum or a Maximum constraint for the response. You can also combine both limits (Minimum/Maximum). Any designs with a response value outside of the range that you specify in the corresponding child node is classed as infeasible. You specify the constraint values in the corresponding child nodes.
- Units
- Displays the unit of the selected response.
- Lock Name
- When On, preserves the name of the selected response.
- Tags
- Specifies the tags for the response. For more information, see Tagging Simulation Objects.
- Specify Valid Minimum
- When On, allows you to set a valid minimum for the response value. A design with a response value below the value that you specify in the corresponding Valid Minimum child node is classed as Error design.
- Specify Valid Maximum
- When On, allows you to set a valid maximum for the response value. A design with a response value above the value that you specify in the corresponding Valid Maximum child node is classed as Error design.
注 | In Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 12.04, the Is Objective and Is Constraint properties were supported for all study types. From version 12.06 onwards, if you play a macro recorded in version 12.04 that activates one of these properties for an unsupported study type, the property is activated as read-only but no longer used. |
Responses Right-Click Actions
- Create User Response
- Allows you to create a response as a
function of existing response values using an expression.
You can define the expression and dimensions for the user response using the properties of the corresponding
node:- Expression
- Defines the expression of the user
response.
You can either type the expression directly, or use the expression editor. To access the expression editor, click . In the expression, you can only use existing study responses as variables. See 使用表达式编辑器.
- Dimensions
- Specifies the physical dimension of the user response.
[response] Right-Click Actions
- Create Plot
- Creates one of the following plot types for this response:
- Create Surrogate
- Creates a new surrogate model for this response with the selected surrogate type from:
- Relink Response...
- Allows you to set the selected response to another report from the reference simulation. This option is particularly useful if changes in the reference simulation break the link to the associated report.
- Set New Tag...
- Creates a new tag and adds it to the selected response. For more information, see Tagging Simulation Objects.
- Allows you to set a new tag or a previously created tag to the selected response.
