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).
