About the Sensitivity Analysis
Sensitivity analysis allows you to analyze how various measured quantities (parameters) vary when a model dimension or an independent model parameter is varied within a specified range. The result is a graph for each selected parameter showing the value of the parameter as a function of the dimension.

To create the analysis, you define the following attributes:
• A model dimension or parameter to vary.
• The range of values within which the dimension will vary.
• The number of steps (computations in the range).
• Parameters that have been created as the results of analysis features.
To generate the sensitivity analysis, the system does the following:
• Varies the selected dimension or parameter within the range
• Regenerates the model at each step.
• Computes the selected parameters.
• Generates a graph.
