• Using the DX Parameter Manager
• Deterministic goal driven optimization
• How to utilize response charts to determine your optimal design
• Using Variational Technology to speed up optimizations
• Designing for Six-Sigma with DX
• Using DX to drive 3rd party applications

This one-day class teaches you how to optimize your designs using the DesignXplorer add-on module for ANSYS Workbench. DX automates the optimization process by taking a set of input parameters and using either Design of Experiments methodology, Variational Technology, or a Design For Six-Sigma process. Response surfaces and charts, trade-off plots, sensitivity charts, and probability tables will then allow you to home in on the optimal design for a given situation. DX can also be used as an optimization tool for any code that can be run in batch mode via text-based input/output files. In addition to learning the interface a number of hands-on exercises allow you to practice the techniques described in lectures.
