ASCMO-STATIC ExpeDes

ASCMO-STATIC ExpeDes is a tool for creating experiment plans based on Design of Experiments (DoE).

DoE is a method for data-based modeling of unknown systems. At the beginning of the modeling is the experiment plan with which data are obtained for the model training using a minimum measuring effort – this data record is subsequently used to train the model. The models, in turn, are based on mathematical approximation methods and are capable of reproducing the behavior of the measured system.

Goal of the modeling is the evaluation and optimization of the system behavior, e.g. for an internal combustion engine the determination of the input variables that lead to optimal output variables (maximum performance, minimum consumption/emission).

This part of the online help is intended to provide you with immediate help while working with ASCMO-STATIC ExpeDes. In the main window as well as in most of the input or display windows, you receive context-based support.

ASCMO-STATIC ExpeDes Working Steps

Working with ASCMO-STATIC ExpeDes contains the following steps for creating an experiment plan:

1. Starting ASCMO-STATIC ExpeDes

2. Step 1: General Settings

   In this step, the number of measurements and the number and configuration of the inputs is defined for the experiment plan.

3. Step 2: Constraints

   In this step, constraints of the measurement range can be made for a variable.

4. Step 3: Input Design Types

   In this step, settings can be made to determine how individual inputs are to be measured.

5. Step 4: Input Compression

   In this step, compressions of measuring points in certain areas of the measuring space can be specified for inputs by area.

6. Step 5: Sorting Rules

   In this step, sorting rules can be defined for inputs so that the experiment plan is passed through in a meaningful way (according to the characteristics of the respective system).

7. Step 6: Block Configuration

   In this step, the experiment plan can be divided into several parts (blocks) that can be measured separately.

8. Step 7: Additional Points

   In this step, the points are defined which, in addition to the points of the experiment plan, should be approached repeatedly according to specific criteria and measured, if necessary.

9. Step 8: Calculated Inputs

   This step allows to add and specify additional inputs calculated from formulas.

10. Step 9: Export Step 9: Export

    In this step, the properties of the project and the experiment plan itself are displayed which can be exported to a file at this point.
