QW-OptimiserPlus

5. New integrated QW-OptimiserPlus

A brand new QW-OptimiserPlus has been prepared in version 6.0. It is designed to work with the library of optimisation routines O2DLL_F.dll developed by Dr. L.Opalski of the Warsaw University of Technology and offered by QWED as an option. According to our tests, it is more effective than the old QW-Optimiser and its further intensive developments are planned. The users suggestions regarding new goal functions or output data will be appreciated.

QW-OptimiserPlus is fully integrated with QW-Simulator. Thus the View Optimiser Results windows appear in the same way as View Results, and enjoy the same variety of display options. An additional advantage is that the users of standard QuickWave software will not need to learn another interface. QW-OptimiserPlus is configured and activated using Optimiser group of commands briefly discussed in Section S 2.1. Configuration process allows setting up optimisation criteria, variables, and preferences. For an example of application, please refer to Section UG 2.15.

QWED intends to maintain the old QW-Optimiser, in a sense that it will remain compatible with the forthcoming versions of QuickWave software. However, its technical developments are not planned. The users of QW-Optimiser interested in switching to the new QW-OptimiserPlus are encouraged to contact QWED for favourable upgrading conditions.
