Configuring the Inputs

You use the component editor’s Inputs tab to select which input parameters will be scanned, the number of subflow evaluations per input, and the fraction of the domain over which the scan will occur. The parameters displayed on the tab represent the input parameters of the components in the Noise Analysis component’s subflow and include all input and in/out parameters.

  1. Double-click the Noise Analysis component icon .

    The Noise Analysis Component Editor appears.

  2. From the Noise Analysis Component Editor, click the Inputs tab.

  3. Right-click in the table to access various options for working with inputs. For more information, see Setting Table Options.

  4. In the first column, click the check boxes next to the parameters that you want to use as input parameters. Alternatively, you can click Add to add all the selected parameters (including array elements). To clear all the parameters, click Remove.

    Based on the model’s problem formulation and the fraction of the domain control, the following values are determined automatically and displayed for each selected parameter (the values cannot be edited):

    Option Description
    Minimum The lower bound for the noise analysis parameter scan.
    Maximum The upper bound for the noise analysis parameter scan.
    Value The current parameter value.

  5. Set any of the following input parameter options, as desired:

    Option Description
    Number of evaluations per input Allows you to specify the number of subflow evaluations that will occur for each selected input parameter. The default setting is 10. The minimum number of evaluations is 7. There is no limit to the maximum number of evaluations that can be performed.
    Run evaluations in parallel Allows you to execute in parallel instead of one run at a time, decreasing the time needed to generate the runs necessary to compute the noise.
    Fraction of the domain to scan Allows you to specify the range of the scan. The default range is 0.1. If the parameter has upper and lower bounds, 0.1 will be interpreted as 10% of the domain centered at the current value. If the parameter is not bounded, 0.1 will be interpreted as plus or minus 5% of the current value. The parameter table displays the current, lower, and upper value of the scan for each selected parameter.

  6. Click OK to save your changes and to close the Noise Analysis Component Editor.
