All criterion function variables are divided into input and controlling ones.
Controlling variables are variables, which values can change at the search of solution until the constraints are executed, which are put on the controlling variables and the criterion function, and until the condition of criterion function optimization is satisfied.
Input variables are variables, which are used in criterion function calculation, but are not controlling variables.
To determine the contents of controlling and input variables of criterion function, use the Variables side panel tab.
The tab displays lists of controlling and input variables of the criterion function.
To set up controlling variable constraints
To transform the controlling variable into the input one
To transform the input variable into the controlling one
