◦ In the Update tab, you can set the following options:

▪ Update rate—When expanding the master table, update the number of records in the Table Tree section of the Multi-Objective Design Study dialog box after the specified number of experiments.

▪ Auto save rate—When expanding the master table, automatically save the .pdl file after the specified number of new experiments.

◦ In the Graph tab, you can set the following options:

▪ Keep graphs after study—Select the check box to display the graph even after you exit the study.

▪ Under the Graph Update options section, you can set the following options:

▪ Do not update graphs—The graphs are not updated after you have expanded the master table.

▪ Update graphs after expansion—Updates the graphs after you have expanded the master table.

▪ Update graphs dynamically—Updates the graphs at regular intervals set by the Update Rate in the Update tab.

◦ In the Compute tab, you can set the following options:

▪ Use distributed computation—Distribute computation tasks among the participating workstations in your network.

▪ Non-stop computation—You need not specify the number of experiments to be conducted for the study. Creo Parametric performs the number of experiments required to satisfy the criteria set by the Automatic convergence check option.

▪ Automatic convergence check—Specifies the criteria that the computation should stop when the average goal deviation falls below the required percentage.

▪ Number of experiments—The number of consecutive experiments including the exact experiments (via regeneration) and the approximate ones (via response surface) that must be within the Error percentage for the computation to stop. You can specify a value between 1 through 1024. The default is 16.

▪ Error percentage—The maximum error in percentage of the approximate results provided by the response surface within the design space. The default is 5.00000.
