Description
By default, files for tabular data imports are expected to contain
columns for all variables, active and inactive. The keyword
active_only
indicates that the file to import contains only the active
variables.
This option should only be used in contexts where the inactive variables have no influence, for example, building a surrogate over active variables, with the state variables held at nominal. It should not be used in more complex nested contexts, where the values of inactive variables are relevant to the function evaluations used to build the surrogate.
