# Design Space Exploration

The Design Space Exploration methods enables users to run multiple tasks on a batch by sampling variables. After parameterize your simulation model, you can click the "Design Optimization" tab on the bottom panel and select between three different sampling methods:

# Parameter Sweep

The Parameter Sweep method samples variables uniformly on a grid. After creating variables in the "Parameter" tab and assigning them to model components, click the "Select Variables" button. Then, select the variables you want to sample and click "OK". For each selected variable, you can set:

Type: how to create the variable list. Options:

  • Range: create a list of num values between min and max.
  • Custom: create a custom list of values separated by comma.

Value: variable values. If Type is Range, set the minimum (min) and maximum (max) list values. If Type is Custom, type a list of comma-separated values.

Number of sampling points: When Type is Range, set the number of values between min and max.

After setting the Parameter Sweep variables, you can click "Check Parameter Sweep" and run all the simulations.

# Monte Carlo

The Monte Carlo method selects sampling points using Monte Carlo sampling (Latin Hypercube method). After creating variables in the "Parameter" tab and assigning them to model components, click the "Select Variables" button. Then, select the variables you want to sample and click "OK". The following options are available to set the Monte Carlo simulations:

Value: Set the minimum (min) and maximum (max) sampling values.

Number of sampling points: Set the total number (num) of simulations you want to run.

After setting the Monte Carlo variables, you can click "Check Monte Carlo" and run all the simulations.

# Custom Sweep

The Custom Sweep method allows you to create custom variable values for each simulation. After creating variables in the "Parameter" tab and assigning them to model components, click the "Select Variables" button. Then, select the variables you want to sample and click "OK". The following options are available to set the Custom Sweep simulations:

Input Format: Defines how to create the simulations (data points).

  • Min/Max: It will range each variable between min and max to create num simulations.
  • Data Points: You manually add as many simulations (data points) you need, and freely define the variable values.

After setting the Parameter Custom simulations, you can click "Check Parameter Custom" and run all the simulations.
