Key Feature 6 - Sensitivity Analysis & Optimization
Sensitivity Analysis helps quantify how variations in
input parameters influence simulation outputs to
support better design decisions.
• Defined Variations now supports sensitivity analysis
• Determines predictive quality and generates a
sensitivity matrix
• Provides 3D response surface plots to visualize
relationships between inputs and outputs
• Easily optimize designs with one-click optimization
Benefits
Sensitivity analysis and
response surface
• Improves investigation of the influence of
parameterized inputs on outputs
• Improves early-stage design trade-off evaluation
• Allows for rapid, one-click optimization for
parametric models
