The optimization formulation consists of an objective function and a set of constraints as shown in the first equation of Mathematical Formulation. The objective can be minimized or maximized using the MIN and MAX in the TARGET parameter of the OBJECTIVE command, respectively. In these cases the values for the objective function defined by the DRESPs are summed up. E.g., if the objective should be minimized (or maximized): OBJ_FUNC ID_NAME = ... DRESP = ... DRESP = ... ... TARGET = MIN (or MAX) END_ where the DRESP definitions are referring to the desired responses for the objective function using the ID name of the defined responses. The defined responses which should be minimized (or maximized) have to be valid design responses. | |||||||
