Yield Strength Property Model: Calculation Type and Grid Definitions

• Single to calculate a single point. Any model can use this calculation type and no additional settings are required. The results from this calculation are displayed in the Event Log or if a Table Renderer is used, in the Visualizations window.
• One Axis: To vary a quantity on the X-axis.
• Grid: Evaluates two axis variables of the selected quantities in the specified range and number of steps.
• Min/Max: Evaluates the Property Model(s) for all variations of the selected quantities at the given limits. The Mean field is as defined under Condition Definitions for the respective quantity. The total minimum and maximum of the model(s) results are shown in the Event log.
• Uncertainty: Evaluates the Property Model(s) where the values of the quantities are sampled from Gaussian distributions. The Mean field is as defined under Condition Definitions for the respective quantity. The result is visualized as a histogram or normal probability plot by adding a Plot Renderer activity.
• Batch: Use this to allow for high throughput calculations and read data from a file, such as a spreadsheet, rather than, for example, having a fixed grid or random values. Results from these batch calculations can then be compared to experimental values (as long as this data is included), using a Cross plot on the Plot Renderer.

For One Axis, select a Quantity to vary along the X-axis, for example, Temperature then enter a Min, Max and Number of steps.

For the Grid calculation type, define the two axes variables using the fields and menus: Quantity, Min, Max, and Number of steps. The number of steps along with the minimum and maximum values for the axes define a grid. For each grid point the selected models are evaluated.

For a Grid, on the Plot Renderer, you can choose to plot a Heat map, Contour, or 3D diagram.

Plot Type: Heat Map, Contour, and 3D

For the Min/Max calculation type, click to select the applicable checkboxes under Quantity to enable or disable an axis. The Mean field is as defined under Condition Definitions for the respective quantity.

Enter numerical values in the Δ Min/Max fields to evaluate the change to the quantity. The highest and lowest value of each selected model results are shown in the Event Log.

For the Uncertainty calculation type, click to select the applicable checkboxes under Quantity to vary this quantity. The Mean field is for the distribution function as defined under Condition Definitions for the respective quantity. The default ΔMin/Max is a 95% confidence interval.

About the Uncertainty Calculations

For the Uncertainty calculation type, choose a number of Standard deviations where you want to Truncate the distribution. Choose the Total number of samples.
