Consider the following:
• | Results need not match exactly, which allows for variance. |
• | SW (algorithm, for example) and HyperWorks variations (processors, RAM, for example). |
• | Include sensitivity by checking model robustness. |
• | Qualify a model as a reference model for further studies. |
• | Define a sensitivity corridor. |
• | Parameters to use: Random Nodal Noise. |
• | Changes in physical parameters in sensitivity studies. |
• | Collect sensitivity details so results remain in the sensitivity range/corridor. |
• | Customer specific validation criteria (engineering criteria for validation). |
• | Include the physics of the problem. |
Check if the model can be considered a reference model for further study. Random noise/sensitivity analysis can be a base run with different seed values. Compare across RADIOSS versions using the sensitivity corridor.
Create and compare (m x n number of solver runs across different options):
• | Sensitivity corridor. |
• | Response curves (time vs. response). |
• | Statistical details. |
