ar. (Only displayed on one bar in the figure) Thus, the user could snap to a top view to<br />

clearly display the values for all cases.<br />

The next three windows of Analysis <strong>Mode</strong> will replicate the features of their<br />

respective displays in CONDUIT. The DP Window will display the values of the design<br />

parameters for all cases and iterations. The Iteration History Window will show the<br />

information of the CONDUIT Iteration History feature in an organized and concise<br />

format. Finally, the Sensitivity Analysis will allow the user to perform a sensitivity<br />

analysis for each individual problem.<br />

A feature new to CONDUIT, introduced in Analysis <strong>Mode</strong> is the capability to plot<br />

gain schedules using the design parameter values of the different cases. This capability is<br />

found in the Gain Schedule Window of Analysis <strong>Mode</strong>. Using the definitions of the Gain<br />

Schedule Parameters Window in Setup <strong>Mode</strong>, the user can plot the design parameters<br />

against any user-defined parameter. The data points of the plot are ordered in the order<br />

of the gain schedule parameter values defined in Setup <strong>Mode</strong>. The Gain Schedule<br />

Window has the ability to organize many gain schedule “plots”, organized on a number<br />

of “pages”. Pages can be thought of as a piece of paper upon which a plot can be drawn.<br />

Each page can have several overlaid plots. This system is best illustrated by the figure<br />

below.<br />
