The Sensitivity Tools looks at the effects of design parameters on the constraints.<br />

The design parameters and specs to use for the analysis are chosen, and are typically<br />

chosen to reflect the current active design parameters and specs. The sensitivity tools<br />

operates by calculating the gradient matrix for the chosen specs and design parameters,<br />

from which the effects of individual design parameters can be determined. The output is<br />

scaled to percentage values, plotted as in Figure 16.<br />

Figure 16 - Insensitive parameters<br />

The rule of thumb with insensitive parameters is that any parameter over 20%<br />

should be frozen. In the case of the figure above, the dpp_RF and dpp_RAHSF<br />

parameters would be frozen. By removing the unnecessary degrees of freedom,<br />
