Hello Dakota!
Many of our new users have been utilizing the free optimization toolkit
Dakota (Sandia National Laboratories) in their existing workflows. For these users and other interested CAESES users,
Dakota can now be employed through the graphical user interface of CAESES.
There is a new design engine that gives you convenient access to the entire method set of
Dakota. We have prepared a selection of
Dakota methods for direct usage, which allows you to run sensitivity studies and optimizations based on response surfaces. Users that are familiar with
Dakota can also use their own
Dakota input files (i.e. method setups).
