Multiple Probabilistic Design Executions

Command(s): PDSCAT

GUI: Main Menu> Prob Design> Prob Results> Trends> Scatter

1.6.2.3. Correlation Matrix

Probabilistic sensitivities are based on a statistical correlation analysis between the individual probabilistic design variables. The PDS lets you review the correlation data that has been used to derive sensitivities and decide if individual sensitivity values are significant or not. This information is collected in the correlation matrix of the random output parameters versus the random input variables. The PDS also lets you review the correlations that have been sampled between random input variables, which is stored in the random input variables correlation matrix. The correlations between random output parameters are important if you want to use the probabilistic results of your probabilistic analysis as input for another probabilistic analysis.

To print out a correlation matrix:

Command(s): PDCMAT

GUI: Main Menu> Prob Design> Prob Results> Trends> Correl Matrix

1.6.3. Generating an HTML Report

The probabilistic design system automatically generates an HTML report for all probabilistic analyses that you performed with your probabilistic model. The report explains the problem you analyzed, which probabilistic methods were used, and the results. The report uses pictures as well as verbal description and explanations to document all this. The report is a predefined HTML document that you can modify and add to using an HTML editor. However, you can also influence the contents of the report to some extent.

To generate an HTML report for probabilistic design:

Command(s): PDROPT, PDWRITE

GUI: Main Menu> Prob Design> Prob Results> Report> Report Options

Main Menu> Prob Design> Prob Results> Report> Generate Report

Use the PDROPT command to specify the items you want to include in your report, then use the PDWRITE command to generate it.

1.7. Multiple Probabilistic Design Executions

There are various reasons why you may wish to perform more than one probabilistic design execution. For example, your initial probabilistic design run may not contain enough samples or loops to find the desired probability limits. Or, you may start by using one probabilistic design analysis method, then try another method to compare or validate results. The knowledge you gain from the first few loops may prompt you to change the method you use or other analysis settings.

If you run a probabilistic analysis using a new probabilistic methods make sure that you also provide a new solution label in the PDEXE command. If you want to add data to an existing solution set then make sure that you use the same probabilistic method as the one that has been used in the existing

solution set. In this case please also note, that if the existing solution set has already a response surface set associated to it, then all response surface sets will be deleted and need to redifined using the RSFIT command.

If you perform all executions within the same session (or within the same batch input stream), the procedure is very straightforward. After an execution, redefine the probabilistic design input as desired and initiate the next execution. To initiate the execution:

Command(s): PDEXE

GUI: Main Menu> Prob Design> Run> Exec Serial> Run Serial Main Menu> Prob Design> Run> Exec Parallel> Run Parallel

For more information on these execution options, see Execute Probabilistic Analysis Simulation Loops (p. 25). If you left the program after performing an analysis and would like to continue your probabilistic design analysis at some later time, you can do a save and restart as described next.

1.7.1. Saving the Probabilistic Design Database

Because the probabilistic database is completely separate from the database, if you save the database using the command SAVE it does not save the probabilistic design database. An exception is when you leave the session and select Save Everything in the EXIT from ANSYS menu, in which case the PDS database is also saved. If you already saved the probabilistic database to a specific file, then Save Everything causes the current PDS database to overwrite the data in that file; otherwise, the data is written to jobname.pds in your current working directory.

The probabilistic design data is automatically saved at the end of each probabilistic design analysis loop. You can save the probabilistic design data at any time by using the PDSAVE command.

To save a probabilistic design analysis:

Command(s): PDSAVE

GUI: Main Menu> Prob Design> Prob Database> Save

Caution

Currently, you must use the Save and Resume commands on the Prob Design menu to save your work if interrupted or if you simply want to resume the project later.

1.7.2. Restarting a Probabilistic Design Analysis

The probabilistic database is maintained completely separate from the database. This means that if you resume the database then the probabilistic design database is not also resumed.

To restart a probabilistic design analysis, resume the probabilistic design database file (Jobname.PDS):

Command(s): PDRESU

GUI: Main Menu> Prob Design> Prob Database> Resume

Once the data is read in, you can respecify probabilistic design type, controls, etc., and initiate looping. (The analysis file corresponding to the resumed database must be available in order to perform probabilistic design.) Note that the previous results are not loaded into the database until a probabilistic postprocessing command is issued.
