In ‘Result Sheet’ page, users can know the convergence history from the plotted curve. From the ‘Optimization History of AR Values’ list, users can check the performance index results of each trial of optimization process. If users select ‘Validation’ & ‘Validation & Re-Optimization’ option in run optimization step, users can check and compare the estimated standard deviations to the sampled standard deviations. Or users can check the user defined robust index value and the relaxed robust index value. The guide for Validation option and the relaxed robust constraint is in the Guideline for AutoDesign manual.
