Parametric Analysis Limitations

Current versions of DesignBuilder have these limitations related to Parametric analysis:

 

  1. Parametric Analysis only allows a maximum of 2 design variables to be used. However you can workaround this limitation if you need to include more than 2 design variables. See the Settings to Run all Possible Combinations in the Optimisation help section.
  2. You must run a simulation with monthly/annual output for the model (on the Analysis tab) before clicking on the Parametric tab. If you don’t have any monthly/annual results on this tab then you must re-run the base simulation before updating the Parametric analysis.
  3. It isn't possible to store multiple parametric results sets within the DesignBuilder model.
