Sensitivity

A Sensitivity solver node () solves a sensitivity analysis problem set up in The Sensitivity Interface.

Also see The Sensitivity Analysis Algorithm. Sensitivity analysis for time-dependent problems is available with the Optimization Module.

General

In the Objective list, you specify the objective to use for the sensitivity analysis.

In the Sensitivity method list, you can choose between the following options:

•	Adjoint — The adjoint method solves for the derivatives of a single scalar objective function with respect to any number of sensitivity variables.

•	Forward — The forward sensitivity method solves for the derivatives of all dependent variables and an optional scalar objective function with respect to a small number of sensitivity variables.
