Variables

 Fig. 1(a) shows:
  • The optimization history of the variable thood.
  • The development of the variable value (red line)
  • How the range of thood (set to 1...5 at the beginning) decreases after every iteration (blue lines).
  • This variable is important (see ANOVA) to reach the bounds of objective and constraint and seems to be converged.

Fig. 1(b)  shows:
  • The optimization history of the variable tbumper.
  • The development of the variable value (red line)
  • How the range of tbumper (set to 1...5 at the beginning) decreases after every iteration (blue lines).
  • This variable is rather insignificant (see ANOVA) and therefor differs between the iteration without affecting the objective.

Fig. 1(b)

As you can see in the figure the value of thood doesn't change a lot between iteration 3 and 4. The tolerance for termination of 1% is reached and this will make LS-OPT stop the optimization process after 4 iterations although 10 iterations were specified in the Run panel.

 

 

Responses

Fig. 2(a) shows:
  • The predicted result (black line) of the HIC response for every iteration.
  • The computed result (red points) of the HIC response for every iteration.
  • The convergence trend of the HIC response.

Fig. 2(b) shows:
  • The predicted result (black line) of the Intrusion constraint for every iteration.
  • The computed result (red points) of the Intrusion constraint for every iteration.
  • The constraint upper bound is reached (blue line).

RMS Error

The root mean square error of the HIC response can be found at Type of Plot → Opt History in the LS-Opt Viewer. Note the range to find the appropriate values.

R2 Indicator

The R2 Indicator of the HIC response for every iteration.

 

→ A small RMS error and a coefficient of determination (R2) ~1 indicates good fit (see table below).

r2_hic1.png

 

 

 RMS Error R2 Indicator Description
Small~1High variable detection: low noise, good fit.
Small~0Low noise/good fit, small gradient.
Large~1High variable detection with noise.
Large~0Lack of fit, perhaps accompanied by noise. Must shrink the move limits.
