Problem, the user can deselect the original cases so they are not run again. The value of the cell is toggled Yes and No by clicking on the button in the cell. • Stop At Phase – When running a CONDUIT problem, the user can opt to run the problem for a number of iterations, or choose to stop the optimization when certain conditions occur. It is the second of these options that is enabled with this cell. By entering a 2, 3, or 0, the user can instruct Batch Mode to run the particular case until the optimization has reached Phase 2, Phase 3, or when the dp=0 condition has been reached, respectively. • Number of Iterations to Run – The second method of stopping a CONDUIT run is to specify a number of iterations to run. In Batch Mode, this is accomplished by entering a value in the Number of Iterations to Run cell. If a value of zero is used, the system will be evaluated at the current design point, but not optimized. As in CONDUIT, either the number of iterations or the stop condition can be used, but not both. Thus, when the user clicks on the Number of Iterations to Run cell, the Stop At Phase cell will be disabled, and vice versa. • Design Margin – This column sets the design margin of the problem. Just as in CONDUIT, a valid number from 0-1 must be specified. It might be noted that the column widths of the General Window seem abnormally wide, and that the GUI does not appear to use the window space effectively. However, this same window must be used to display the same HQ Window information as in CONDUIT, along with every other output window of CONDUIT. Thus, when the Batch Mode GUI was designed, it was done in such a way as to maximize the size of the Display Area of the Main Window. An additional comment that is often brought up by 43
the casual observer is that since the window is so large for these few parameters, that they should be incorporated with other parameters from different windows. However, all other windows have a variable number of parameters, which with a larger number of parameters would require as much space as possible. Adding the general parameters would only take away from that space. Thus, while the design might not be ideal for all windows, it is the best compromise considering the limitations. Figure 25 – Gain Schedule Parameter setup window The second Setup Mode window developed was the Gain Schedule Parameter window, shown in Figure 25. In this window, the user may define constants to be used elsewhere in the Batch Mode GUI. These constants are much like the name column in the Case Number Area, in that they do not directly affect any CONDUIT setting. Rather, they are accessed through other areas of the Batch GUI. Specifically, they can be used as 44
