At runtime, we would want Dakota to replace “10.0” with whatever value it is currently using. You can see “length = 10.0” in the input file.

For instance, suppose you want to define a “length” parameter for this model. The Parameters page is used for defining your simulation model’s parameters according to text replacements in the input file template. When you are ready to proceed, click Next. If you are using the provided cantilever example files, this is what the wizard should look like once populated:

This will cause the Simulation Model Wizard to appear. To get started, click on the New Simulation Model link underneath the Simulation Models table: After creating a blank Dakota project, generally the first step is to define the simulation model that Dakota will be studying.
