TK Solver Optimiser

[Naval Architect]

Forum, I have followed the tutorial and successfully set up a look up system that produces a series of outputs for the given user input. However, I wish to run an optimiser with the generated outputs. At present, the optimiser forces the user to choose the input at every iteration of the optimisation - obviously not feasable

Q1) What is the simplest method of fixing the generated lookup 'output values' until the optimiser has found a solution using these?

An additional advancement would be to automate this optimisation to use each of the sets of generated lookup outputs for all the user inputs and post into an array of their own.
Q2) Is this possible?

Any assistance for this TK Solver package would be much appreciated

Use a "Startup" function to gather the inputs prior to solving. Startup functions are procedure functions declared in the Options menu. Anything in the Startup function is only processed once. There is also a "Terminate" function that works only after the solution is complete but I don't think that would be useful here.

In answer to your second question, the best approach would be to write a little VB wizard that repeatedly launches the Optimizer with a new set of inputs. See Appendix E of the online user guide for details on communicating between TK and VB.
