Accounting for Uncertainty in Optimization

Accounting for Uncertainty in Optimization

Optimization is typically applied to deterministic problems, i.e., a problem in which all variables have an exact value and that can be calculated using fixed mathematical formulas. However, in real life, it is almost impossible to measure the exact values due to...
Engineers, Assemble! 

Engineers, Assemble! 

Design Studio for Genesis® makes it easy to organize your model by letting you create collections of groups/properties called assemblies.  Assemblies are non-exclusive – that is, groups may be included in more than one assembly.  There are a number of built-in...
