chrono::ChOptimizerHybrid Class Reference

Description

Class for genetic optimization followed by a refinement with the method of gradient, one after the other.

Parameters must be set for the two encapsulated optimizers genetic_opt and gradient_opt, that is for example: my_hybrid->genetic_opt->maxgenerations = 200; etc... However, the optimization variables, the system and the objective function must be added to the hybrid optimizer itself, which in turn will automatically set them for the genetic_opt and gradient_opt.

Member Function Documentation

◆ DoOptimize()

bool chrono::ChOptimizerHybrid::DoOptimize ( )
overridevirtual

This function computes the optimal xv[].

It must be implemented by derived classes

Reimplemented from chrono::ChOptimizer.

◆ SetNumOfVars()

void chrono::ChOptimizerHybrid::SetNumOfVars ( int  mv)
overridevirtual

Set the number of optimization variables.

Note: this must be set properly as the number of variables used in the objective function!

Reimplemented from chrono::ChOptimizer.
