Criterion Function Calculation

To calculate criterion function, click the Calculate button on the Criterion Function ribbon tab. By default, the optimal control problem is calculated.

Click the lower part of the Calculate button on the Calculation ribbon tab. The menu opens, in which select calculation type:

Calculation results will be displayed on the results panel and in the working area on the Scheme view.

If upper or lower constraint for the controlling variable or criterion function is not reached, it is displayed as green stripes located at the top or at the bottom respectively:

Therefore, constraint of controlling variable or criterion function does not need to be corrected.

If upper or lower constraint for the controlling variable or criterion function is exceeded, it is displayed as red stripes located at the top or at the bottom respectively:

Therefore, it is required to correct or weaken constraint of controlling variable or criterion function.

If trajectory and upper or lower constraint that was weakened but still exceeded, is set for criterion function, the constraint is marked with bright red stripes at the top and at the bottom respectively:

Therefore, it is required to correct criterion function constraint.

Getting Report on Criterion Function Results

To get a report on results of criterion function calculation:

  1. Select the criterion function in the working area.

  2. Calculate the criterion function.

  3. Click the Report button on the Criterion Function ribbon tab or select the Scenarios Comparison Report item in the Report button drop-down menu on the Calculation ribbon tab.

An express report opens in the new window, which contains output data or variables used in calculation.
