Function Documentation

void run_dakota_parse

(

const char *

dakota_input_file

)

mode 1: parsing an input file.

This function parses from an input file to define the ProblemDescDB data.

void run_dakota_data

(

)

mode 2: direct Data class instantiation.

Rather than parsing from an input file, this function populates Data class objects directly using a minimal specification and relies on constructor defaults and post-processing in post_process() to fill in the rest.

void run_dakota_mixed

(

const char *

dakota_input_file

)

mode 3: mixed parsing and direct updating

This function showcases multiple features. For parsing, either an input file (dakota_input_file != NULL) or a default input string (dakota_input_file == NULL) are shown. This parsed input is then mixed with input from three sources: (1) input from a user-supplied callback function, (2) updates to the DB prior to Strategy instantiation, (3) updates directly to Iterators/Models following Strategy instantiation.

int main	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[]
	)

A mock simulator main for testing DAKOTA in library mode.

Uses alternative instantiation syntax as described in the library mode documentation within the Developers Manual. Tests several problem specification modes: (1) run_dakota_parse: reads all problem specification data from an input file (2) run_dakota_data: creates all problem specification from direct Data instance instantiations. (3) run_dakota_mixed: a mixture of input parsing (by file or default string) and direct data updates, where the data updates occur: (a) via the DB prior to Strategy instantiation, and (b) via Iterators/Models following Strategy instantiation. Usage: dakota_library_mode [-m] [dakota.in]
