Constraint Type "Hull on imported Data"

The area below the constraints list contains the graphic display of the planned measurement points and the specified limitation of the area.

The constraint type "Hull on imported Data" uses a 1-5D convex hull to constrain the DoE plan. The hull is based on a data points cloud coming from a real measurement campaign (Boundary Search).

Selecting variables

Assign the relevant inputs to the axes. Depending on dimension selection, 1 to 5 axis can be selected.

The measurement points of the current experiment plan are displayed in a 2D or 3D or mutliple 3D plots.

In addition, the thicker points of the grid with which the constraint of areas is controlled are also displayed.

Display Options

This is where you can define display options.

  • Measurement: Display of measurement points
  • Show Hull: Display of Hull
  • Points Deleted: Number of measurement points deleted by the constraint

Processing Method

If the measurement range is constrained, you can select an option to handle the number of measurement points.

  • Points Deleted: Number of measurement points deleted by the constraint
  • Cutoff: Removes the points outside the constraint, leaving the points inside the constraint the same. The number of deleted points is shown above (Points Deleted).
  • Limit: Points outside the constraint are set to the value of the constraint. Points inside the constraint remain unchanged.
  • Cutoff Inside: Removes the points inside the constraint and keeps the points outside the constraint. The number of deleted points is shown above (Points Deleted).
Table for Data for Hull Calculation

Show Data: Shows data visualization of Hull and imported data in a Scatter Plot. The visualization in the Constraints Step just shows the hull of imported data.

Expand/Shift: You can expand and set the offset to modify the classifier.

Import: Import *.xls/*.csv data for hull calculation. After selecting the file to import, you must map the imported data to the defined axis (1 to 4 axes, depending on your hull dimensions).
