analytic_gradients

Analysis driver will return gradients

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: None

Description

The analytic_gradients specification means that gradient information is available directly from the simulation (finite differencing is not required). The simulation must return the gradient data in the Dakota format (enclosed in single brackets; see Dakota Results File Data Format). for the case of file transfer of data. The analytic_gradients keyword is a complete specification for this case.
