Step B - Optional - Configure DRSPAN for equation objective and constraints

Equation constraints, R1, R2, R3, ..., appear in this table if they are set as a Global Constraint in the checkbox table above.

If the arguments/labels of an equation consist of SUBCASE dependent responses, the SUBCASE for each argument/label in the equation constraint is required to be set.
- Example: Suppose there are SUBCASEs 101, 102 and 103, and an equation is defined as R0(a1) = a1**2, where a1 is the x displacement at node 99 for SUBCASE 102. This table can be used to select the specific SUBCASE in which the equation argument/label corresponds to.

{{obj.labelOfSyntheticConstraint}} ( {{dream2.label}} _{Global Response}, )

Important! The following responses cannot be used in this equation:

Per the MSC Nastran Quick Reference Guide's DRSPAN remarks, "DRESP2, or DRESP3 that SPANS subcases, cannot reference another DRESP2 and/or DRESP3."

Important! This configuration of DRSPAN is not valid.

Per the MSC Nastran Quick Reference Guide's DRSPAN remarks, "DRSPAN must appear in every subcase in the file if the synthetic response is to span the subcases." For example, suppose there exists SUBCASEs 1, 2 and 3.

NOT OK - R0(a1_{SUBCASE 3}, a2_{SUBCASE 3}, a3_{-- Select --})
- This configuration only references SUBCASE 3.
OK - R0(a1_{SUBCASE 3}, a2_{SUBCASE 2}, a3_{SUBCASE 1})

Job Settings

Option	Description	Configure
Debug	If "yes" is selected, the program will produce more message for diagnosis Options Yes No - Default
MEM= "m"	Indicates the subsequent data is a memory request for this model. Integer m = amount of memory requested (default=1GB)
SMP="n"	Indicates the number of processors used to efficiently obtain a solution to the simulation. The processors used will be on a single machine (default = no use of parallelization on shared memory tasks).
Scr="s"	Option for scratch. Options Yes - Default (Recommended) No
Blocking="bopt"	Indicates whether jobs run in parallel or serially. Integer bopt =1(default) runs the job serially while bopt=n enables running n local optimization jobs in parallel.

Global Optimization Control Parameters

Option	Description	Configure
Variability	Specifies how the global design space is sampled. Options Golden - Default - The global design space is sampled at the points determined by Golden Section Ratios. This parameter is only applicable when the number of design variables is greater than 2. When NDV <=2, the design space is always sampled at the lower and upper limits of each design variable. Uplo - The global design space is evaluated at the lower and upper limits of each design variable. (Note: user must define proper limits on the DESVAR)
Maxfea	Indicates the maximum allowable number of finite element analyses. Integer >0 (default=500). This parameter controls the global search process. The procedure computes the total number of finite element analyses that is the sum of the number of finite element analyses performed for each local search. When the total number of FE analyses exceeds mopt, the GO process is terminated with the appropriate message
Nglsmax	Indicates the maximum allowable number of consecutive local searches that do not produce an improved design. Integer (default=8). This parameter also controls the global search process. The global search procedure will be terminated when the number of consecutive local searches that do not produce an improved design exceeds the given nopt parameter.
Fsave	Options 0 - Default - Only the initial local optimization and the global optimization results are saved. 1 - Save intermediate local optimization results that have feasible designs. 2 - Generate GO local optimization run jobs, but do not execute.
