Opertimization other than element parameters

Post by wguo » 14 Jun 2019, 15:25

Hi Michael,

Is there a way to optimize free parameters other than element parameters? For example, in the lte file

...
1.0 sto K1f1
2.0 sto K1f2

Q1: QUAD, L=0.2, K1=K1f1*0.8+K1f2*K1f2*0.02
...

Instead of using K1 of Q1 as optimization variables, I would like to vary K1f1 and K1f2. Is it possible to do so in Elegant?

Best regards,

Weiming

Weiming,

Unfortunately, the answer is no at present. You can use the optimization_covariable command to optimize parameters of elements as functions of other parameters of elements, which may help if you restate the problem in terms of different variables.
