Sensitivity
Measure how a chosen objective changes when model or design inputs change.
Measure how a chosen objective changes when model or design inputs change.
Where to find it
System Solver workspace; Model Builder → System Solvers
How to use it
Choose the objective, method and Study step; decide whether normalized sensitivities are useful for comparing inputs. Choose Run System Solver, then select the completed solution under Results.
Settings and initial values
| Setting | Initial value |
|---|---|
| Objective expression | solid.compliance |
| Method | Forward finite difference |
| Study step | Stationary System Solver 1 |
| Normalize sensitivities | On |
Result
Successful runs provide solution data for plots, tables and evaluations in Results.
Troubleshooting
Check the objective's units and the supported parameter type. A large local derivative does not predict behavior far from the tested design.
