Constructor Detail

Mesh

public Mesh(GenOpt genOptData)
     throws OptimizerException,
            java.io.IOException,
            java.lang.Exception,
            InputFormatException

Constructor

Parameters:

genOptData - a reference to the GenOpt object.
Note: the object is used as a reference. Hence, the datas of GenOpt are modified by this Class.

Throws:

OptimizerException

java.io.IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

java.lang.Exception

InputFormatException

Method Detail

run

public int run(Point x0)
        throws OptimizerException,
               java.lang.Exception

Runs the evaluation

Specified by:

run in class Optimizer

Parameters:

x0 - initial point

Returns:

+4 the only possible return value

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

OptimizerException

InputFormatException - if an InputFormatException occurs

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException - if a method that should be invoked could not be found

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if an invoked method enforces Java language access control and the underlying method is inaccessible

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if an invoked method throws an exception

perturb

private void perturb(int iPar)
              throws OptimizerException,
                     java.lang.Exception

Perturbs the point and evaluates a simulation

Parameters:

iPar - number of continuous and discrete parameters that has to be perturbed

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

OptimizerException

executeSimulations

private void executeSimulations()
                         throws OptimizerException,
                                java.lang.Exception

Executes all simulations. At any time, only as many simulations will be started as there are threads available. After these simulations finished, the results are reported, and then the next simulations will be started.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

OptimizerException

getF

public Point getF(Point pt)
           throws SimulationInputException,
                  OptimizerException,
                  java.lang.Exception

Evaluates a simulation and reports result

Overrides:

getF in class Optimizer

Parameters:

pt - point to be evaluated

Returns:

a clone of the point with the new function values stored

Throws:

OptimizerException - if an OptimizerException occurs or if the user required to stop GenOpt

SimulationInputException - if an error in writing the simulation input file occurs

java.lang.Exception - if an I/O error in the simulation input file occurs
