Reuse Run Data

An Inclusion matrix contains existing data that will be appended into the newly created approach as known data points. This data typically comes from other approaches, such as DOEs or previously run Optimizations.

In an Optimization, the inclusion can recycle data and in some cases can act as a restart.

1. Go to the Specifications step for the Optimization.
2. In the top, right of the work area, click Edit Matrix > Inclusion Matrix.
3. In the Edit Inclusion Matrix dialog, click Import Values.
4. In the Import Values dialog, select Approach evaluation data and click Next.
5. For Approach evaluation data, select the approach that contains run data.
6. Click Next.
7. Define the variable to column assignment(s).
   1. From the Variable to Column Assignment table, select a variable to which run data will be assigned.
   2. From the Columns in Source File table, select the column that contains run data to assign to the selected variable.
   3. Click Assign.
8. Click Finish.
9. Review the imported run data.
10. Click OK.
