Getting started with Simcenter Amesim design exploration features

design exploration

This manual introduces the Simcenter Amesim™ software design exploration features through the use of tutorial examples.

Design exploration provides you with a set of techniques for exploring your design space. We assume you have a mature model but you are still free to experiment with some of the parameters:

• You want to determine which parameters influence certain performance criteria.

• You want to experiment with a collection of parameters in order to optimize certain criteria.

• You want to find out how performance is affected by variation on a parameter due to:

production tolerances,

different operating conditions, or

wear.

The design exploration facility, through the use of the Study Manager, allows you to do all of these things. These actions are available under the headings:

• Design Of Experiments Design Of Experiments (DOE),

• Optimization, and

• Robustness analysis Robustness analysis using Monte Carlo runs,

respectively.
