Model Reduction

Use a Model Reduction study step to perform simulations with reduced models or to produce reduced models.

A Model reduction study step will involve the following settings

Selecting the model reduction method to apply.

If applicable: Selecting the training data (Select or generate Study and Study step reference).

Defining the unreduced (source) model (Study and Study step reference).

If applicable: Defining the objective function representing a quality measure to minimize.

Selecting to create or update an instance of the reduced model under reduced models for online use.

If applicable: Specifying if the reduced model should be capable of reconstruction.

Defining reduced model control inputs.

Defining reduced model outputs.

Syntax

model.study(stdname).create(fname,"ModelReduction");

model.study(stdname).feature(fname).set(pname,value);
