(Experimental) Labels for floating point response metadata
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: STRINGLIST
Default: no metadata
Description
Specify the labels (field names) for floating point-valued metadata responses to be returned from the interface.
Dakota’s emerging metadata responses are distinct from the response
quantities of interest explored by a Dakota method. Some, such as
simulation cost might be used by a method (such as
method-multifidelity_sampling and related methods) to make algorithmic
decisions. Other metadata might just be tabulated for user
convenience.
Usage Tips
In a results_file, values and
labels for metadata should follow any function values, gradients, or
Hessians returned by the simulation.
Examples
A responses specification where the Dakota method will be applied to quantities of interest stress and displacement, while metadata simulation cost in minutes and number of dead elements will be tabulated for each evaluation:
responses
descriptors 'stress' 'displacement'
response_functions 2
no_gradients
no_hessians
metadata 'simulation_cost_minutes' 'number_dead_elements'
