dace_method_pointer
Pointer to a DACE method for purposes of generating an ensemble of field responses to be used in estimating a random field model. THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITY.
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: STRING
Default: no design of experiments data
Description
As part of the capability to generate a random field representation, the user
needs to specify the data used to generate the random field representation.
One way to do this is to run a set of simulations and generating field responses.
Dakota will then take the full set of field responses (e.g. multiple samples, where
each sample has a field response) and construct a random field model representing the
uncertainty in the ensemble. The dace_method_pointer is a pointer to a
Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments (DACE) method, typically
which is a sampling method. In this case, the sampling method
should be on a simulation which can generate field responses (e.g. field_responses, field_objectives, or
field_calibration terms.)
THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITY UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT.
Default Behavior
Currently, the build_source that is fully working is the
dace_method_pointer. The others are not fully operational.
