10/03/2021 | written by Danilo di Stefano Reducing the complexity of design space exploration with sensitivity analysis Engineering problems can involve a large number of design variables. But not all of the inputs have an equal effect on the output. Considering them all can dramatically reduce the efficiency of Design of Experiments (DOE) or optimization studies. In this scenario, you can also experience difficulties when building Response Surface Models (RSM). Most probably your dataset includes needless...
