Normal distribution with Multi-objective Design Study?
Normal distribution with Multi-objective Design Study?
(OP)
Has anyone figured out how to populate a table in the Multi-objective Design Study with a normal distribution? As far as I can tell, one can only get a uniform distribution from a Monte Carlo simulation. I would like to do some simple statistical studies without using a add-on product like CETOL.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

RE: Normal distribution with Multi-objective Design Study?
1. keep goal between min and max values
2. using pareto filter, to obtain the max, or min for the populated database.
as far as a normal distribution, i am assuming that you mean to determine a number of variables that will produce the same goal value. if this is what you mean, then no - there isn't a way, since no two goal values have exactly the same value. the only way is to derive a table from teh master table between a high and low bound, which are very close in value. you might have to create a rather large database initially, (200+) variables, in order to get any kind of useful result.
let me know if i'm way off, and i will try again.
ps- MLoew - check out the post that i left on the bicycle engineering fourm - you might be interested.

Thanks for the reply, but as you feared, not quite what I was looking for.
I am sure I could generate the population if I could import the points from Excel. But I know this can not be done. Any tips?
