Maximum number of model evaluations
Limit complete model evaluations, including candidate designs.
Limit complete model evaluations, including candidate designs.
Where to find it
System Solver → Optimization → CMA-ES → Maximum number of model evaluations
How to use it
First solve the starting design. Change this control deliberately and compare convergence, evaluations and feasibility with the previous run.
Initial value
1000.
Result
Compare the final objective, constraint values, design and termination reason together.
Troubleshooting
Limits on iterations or evaluations can end a search before an optimum is reached. Inspect feasibility and termination reason, then verify the final design with a solve.
