If your license includes the Optimization Module, you can use Study Reference nodes to perform parameterized or nested optimization and to do derivative-free optimization where the objective and constraints are evaluated for different studies. See the Optimization Module User’s Guide for more information.

The Study Reference node is a pointer to another Study and triggers the execution of the study the reference points to when it is the Study Reference node’s turn in the study sequence. However, there are no Compile Equations, Dependent Variables, or solver nodes created in the solver sequence associated with the current study. You therefore need to specify initial values to subsequent nodes or solutions to input studies explicitly if they should refer to solutions referenced by a Study Reference. If the target of a study reference is changed, those settings need to be reset manually.
