OPTFEKO parameters contraints

I am trying to optimize the RCS  to get the lowest RCS by changing the width(W) and Radius (R) values. With the constraint that xt must be equal or greater  than 3.5 and theta_a must be equal or less than 40.  The Attached PDF shows the combination of W and R that work  for xt and theta_a.   How can I setup the optfeko to run this.

    Unfortunately OPTFEKO does not support the reading in of parameters from file.

    Some users use a maths program such as Altair Compose or a 3rd party tool to do their own optimisations. Feko can be called from the command line and from within these tools then too.

    Hello @Wayne K if I understand correctly what you are trying to accomplish then the combination of FEKO with Hyperstudy is able to do what you require.

     

    Hyperstudy allows to define "complex/arbitrary" constraints of available parameter combinations. Within those constriants you can the variables to allow only the range that is allowed. 

    Thus you could define the xt/yt formula from CADFEKO with the threshold as a contraint in Hyperstudy to only allow certain values

     

    We have a webinar in this regard to show the principal workflow. Also the Example I.4 shows the workflow. 

     

    I hope this can help you.

    __Hello mel. Is Altair team going to improve FEKO built-in optimization capabilities in the future?
