MMCD
LSOPT Interface
The basic fitting procedure is to use the MMCD GUI to select the
material model parameters that the user wants to fit to test data,
define a range in values for these parameters, and then perform
numerous MMCD calculations over the range in values. LS-OPT creates
multi-dimensional surfaces of the computed response versus parameter
values. Then LS-OPT finds the parameter values that minimize the
difference between each computed response surface and each test data
point using an iterative optimization routine. Multiple response
surfaces are created, and the differences are summed up, if multiple
data points are analyzed.
Obtaining an LS-OPT license
LS-OPT must be obtained from an LS-OPT distributor.
