optimize

optimize(optimdir, params, options, algorithm)

Full definition:

params = optimize( optimdir, params, options, algorithm )

input:

• optimdir: folder where to optimize

• params: array of structures with parameters to optimize

  • .name - char string - parameter name (e.g. ‘length1’)

  • .value - number

  • .step - number - discretization of .value

  • .range - row vector - range of .value (e.g. [1 10])

  • .active - (0/1) - 1=optimize this parameter

• options: structure

  • .folder_matlabstart: set the startup folder for matlab or octave

  • .simfun: char string with the simulation function name

  • .octave_exe: if this field is present, octave is used

  • .clean: clean the optimization folder before optimization start

• algorithm: ‘asco’ or ‘simplex-downhill’

output:

• params: optimal values

• result: optimization criterion for optimal values

example: see openEMS/matlab/examples/optimizer

notes: Create a file named ‘STOP_OPTIMIZATION’ in the optimdir folder to stop the optimization process (or press Ctrl+C).
