- Importing Models from DOE Pro
- Merging Designs
Model Analysis
- Rocket Mode Emulation enables up to 2,000,000 simulations per second
- Support for 9 continuous distributions, 4 discrete distributions, and custom distributions
- True stochastic optimization (Parameter Design)
- Percent Contribution Calculations and Plotting
- Tolerance Allocation
- Sensitivity Analysis
- Surface and Contour Plots
- Latitude Plots
Model Building – Quantum XL includes several ways to build models. The article on Simple Monte Carlo Analysis using Quantum XL gives you the key facts to run Monte Carlo simulations quickly.
Latitude Plots
Latitude Plots are a visual representation of the expected variation region vs. the available latitude window. Below are the links to a series of five articles to help you understand and create these powerful plots.
