descriptors
Labels for the responses
Specification
Alias: response_descriptors
Arguments: STRINGLIST
Default: root strings plus numeric identifiers
Description
A list of strings which identify the responses. These are used in console and tabular output. Response descriptors are ordered by primary response functions (objective, calibration, or response functions), followed by inequality, then equality constraints, if present.
Default Behavior
The default descriptor strings use a response type-dependent root string plus a one-based numeric identifier:
Objective functions:
obj_fn_i
Calibration terms:
least_sq_term_i
Nonlinear inequality constraints:
nln_ineq_con_i
Nonlinear equality constraints:
nln_eq_con_i
Response functions:
response_fn_
Expected Output Dakota will label the various response functions in console and tabular output.
Usage Tips When specifying descriptors for scalar and/or field responses, include as many descriptors as top-level scalar + field responses, e.g.,
responses
descriptors 'scalar1' 'scalar2' 'scalar3' 'field1' 'field2'
response_functions 5
scalar_responses 3
field_responses 2
field_lengths 42 24
Dakota will append a numeric identifier for each field entry, for a total of 42 field1_j and 24 field2_k in this example.
Examples
responses
descriptors 'cost' 'impact' 'safety'

nonlinear_inequality_constraints 1
