File Viewer in CAESES

We have noticed that some of our users are not really aware of the pos­si­bil­ity to check the log files (input/​output/​error) of opti­miza­tion runs. For auto­mated studies, you can e.g. make use of the method set of Dakota for which we have imple­mented an easy-to-use inter­face in CAESES®. For each design engine run, a set of log files is stored in the run direc­tory of the project, and these files are also avail­able in the CAESES® user interface. 

Select the Base Design

So this is how it works: First, select the base design of the run in the object tree (tab ​“opti­miza­tion”):

Central Widget: File Viewer

Second, select the ​“con­nec­tions” tab in the central widget to take a look into the file viewer and the files that were gen­er­ated during the Dakota run. You always find the file viewer in this ​“con­nec­tions” tab because CAESES® also shows input and output files of external software in this viewer (i.e. files from ​“con­nected” software). Here is a screen­shot of the file viewer: 

This makes it very con­ve­nient to take a quick look into all these ASCII files without switch­ing to the file explorer of your OS. Sure, this is not the very first thing to know when you start using CAESES®, but another little piece that makes CAESES® a full CAE inte­gra­tion package that takes care of everything.
