This new function is designed to expand on the abilities of the commonly used function resvector.  Key features include spanning time ranges and easy picking of first or last request items.  This function comes with a dedicated GUI to aid response construction.

This is a DOE post-processing technique that presents the effects of the variables on a response in a bar chart which ranks the effects from largest to smallest.  These simple to understand charts are an effective tool to present the results of a DOE.

A categorical variable is one which can take a list of possible values that cannot be ordered by numerical comparison. As an example the color of an automobile may be “red, green, or blue”, but it cannot be said that “red is less than blue”.  A variable may be marked as categorical and used in approaches such as DOE or Fit.  These variables arise naturally in material selection or part switching studies, for example.

In the tables and channel selectors, new icons have been inserted beside the labels.  This makes it easier to quickly tell which items are variables, responses, objectives, or constraints.

After a multi-objective optimization is typical to interrogate the points on the Pareto frontier to get more details.  The Optima tab has been enhanced with a tool (right mouse context menu) to better collect the information about these points in a dedicated GUI with tabular information.
