Hessians are needed and are available directly from the analysis driver

Specification

  • Alias: None

  • Arguments: None

Description

The analytic_hessians specification means that Hessian information is available directly from the simulation. The simulation must return the Hessian data in the Dakota format (enclosed in double brackets; see Dakota Results File Data Formats) for the case of file transfer of data. The analytic_hessians keyword is a complete specification for this case.
