Design of Experiments (DOE) can be defined as a test or a series of tests in which purposeful changes are made to the input variables of a process or system so that the reasons for changes in the output response can be identified and observed.
DOE Study Objectives
• | To determine which factors are most influential on the output response. |
• | To determine where to set the influential controlled input variables so that: |
- | the output response is close to the desired nominal value. |
- | variability in output response is small. |
- | the effects of the uncontrolled variables are minimized. |
• | To construct an approximate model that can be used as a surrogate model for the actual computationally intensive solver. |
If there is a fitting function (approximation, response surface) defined prior to a DOE, the DOE can be performed using the analysis solver directly or by using a fitting function (approximation, response surface).
A DOE approach can be copied into another (new) DOE approach. All settings are copied, but any files created (solver runs, results) are not copied.
A DOE approach can also be removed; upon removal of an approach, all files can be deleted from the study folder (prompts are provided).
