Mr. Xiaosong Zhang 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 Hello friends, Currently, I can use CAESES to read the points of a curve (function (x,y)) and then export into csv file. Is it possible to further calculate the slope or derivative of this function using CAESES programming and then export a csv file? Or any other way to do this without programming? Thank you guys.

Jörg 29 Report post Posted August 7, 2018 Sure (if I understand correctly). Read in the curve points, create a curve (e.g. an interpolation curve) and use the curve commands getTan() getDeriv() and so on. All type commands can be accessed by clicking on the type icon: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible to make one parameter, eg. X column in the table (.csv) to be design variable in optimisation? Thank you for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jörg 29 Report post Posted August 14, 2018 I guess you need to create a design variable and set it as input to your import/export feature (not sure about your exact setup). Then you can set this variable as value-provider for your x-column. The design variable can be changed by optimization strategies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
