Update Design Variables

Ribbon menu → Design Exploration tab → Design Evaluation container

(Classic) Simulate → Design Evaluation →

Allows you to set the design variable values to those of a trial or iteration. This is helpful if you want to:

■Update your model to match the best trial of a Design study or Design of experiments (DOE).

■Visualize the variable settings of a particular trial or iteration.

■Use an intermediate iteration in an optimization instead of the final values.

For the option:	Do the following:
Result Set	Enter the name of the parametric analysis result set that you want to use to update the variables.
Trial	Enter the trial or iteration number you want to use. Adams View sets the design variable values to match those used in the specified trial or iteration, and updates the model graphics to reflect the new values. Note: When using the Temporary Settings Sweep option, the "set variables to values used in trial or iteration" button is disabled because it is specific to setting a single set of variables used across all trials. The Temporary Settings Sweep is richer, allowing one to perturb different properties per trial, this button does not apply. If you want to update your baseline model to the state used in a given Temporary Settings Sweep trial, use the Temporary Settings dialog to select the same set of temporary settings files and apply them to your model.
