Perform Studies
A study is a self-contained project in which models, variables, output responses, and approaches are defined.
Setup the Study
Before you can create approaches you must first setup your Study by defining input variables and output responses.
Define Definition
Define the models, input variables, and output responses to be used in the study.
Define Models
A model is part of a study. It is the model of the system that is subjected to a study.
Load Resource Files
A resource file establishes the basis of the connection to HyperStudy. Information about the input variables and/or output responses are passed through the file.

Perform Studies
A study is a self-contained project in which models, variables, output responses, and approaches are defined.
- Setup the Study
  Before you can create approaches you must first setup your Study by defining input variables and output responses.
  - Edit Files
    Use the Editor to create and edit template files, parameterize ASCII files, create variables or shape templates, recognize and edit Templex statements in files, execute parameterized files, and perform advanced editing.
  - Define Definition
    Define the models, input variables, and output responses to be used in the study.
    - Define Models
      A model is part of a study. It is the model of the system that is subjected to a study.
      - Add and Delete Models
        In each study, you can add one or more models.
      - Load Resource Files
        A resource file establishes the basis of the connection to HyperStudy. Information about the input variables and/or output responses are passed through the file.
      - Define Model Dependencies
        When defining a model, model resources identify additional files required for the model to evaluate successfully, for example reference files called by script or linked result files that were generated by other models.
      - Model Conditions
        In a multi-model study environment, evaluation of models can be conditional, or the run sequence may be different than the order of model IDs.
      - Specify Solver Input Files
        A solver input file is the name of the input file that the model will write during the evaluation.
      - Select Solver Execution Scripts
        Select the solver execution script you would like HyperStudy to use when executing the model.
      - Specify Solver Input Arguments
        A solver input argument is any argument to be passed to the solver.
    - Define Input Variables
      An input variable is a system parameter that influences the system performance in the chosen output response. It is an object that is varied by the study based on certain rules.
    - Test Models
      Write input files, execute analysis, and extract output responses for models defined in the study Setup.
    - Define Output Responses
      An output response is a measurement of system performances, such as weight, volume, displacement, stress, strain, reaction forces, and frequency.
- Setup the Approaches
  Once the study Setup is complete, an unlimited combination of approaches can be added to a study. A study approach is a specific set of steps taken to study the mathematical model of a design.
Learn the Approaches
Each approach in HyperStudy serves a different purpose in the design study.
Customize HyperStudy
Customize HyperStudy by registering solver scripts, functions, and optimizers, and defining user preferences files.

Frequently Asked Questions
This section provides quick responses to typical and frequently asked questions regarding HyperStudy.

Load Resource Files

A resource file establishes the basis of the connection to HyperStudy. Information about the input variables and/or output responses are passed through the file.

If you are defining an Interanl Math model, dragged-and-dropped a model file into the application, or invoked HyperStudy from another application, you will not be required to manually load a resource file.

In the Define Models step, Resource column of the model you are defining, click .
In the HyperStudy - Load model resource dialog, navigate to your working directory and open the resource file.

Note: If you load a file for a Parameterized File model that does not contain parameters, a dialog will appear asking if you would like to parameterize the file. If you select Yes, the file will open in the Editor as a *.tpl file. When you close the Editor, HyperStudy automatically loads the*.tpl in the Resource column, and inserts the file name in the Solver input file column.
