BlueM.Opt

BlueM.Opt is an optimization framework that can be coupled with an arbitrary simulation software. It can be used to optimize or carry out a sensitivity analysis for any parameters in a Talsim dataset while evaluating the simulation results against flexibly definable objective functions.

The source code and the latest release version are available at https://github.com/bluemodel/BlueM.Opt/

How to use BlueM.Opt with Talsim::

• Export the Talsim dataset as an ASCII dataset
• Create the required BlueM.Opt input files
• In the EXT file, make sure that PATHLocal contains the absolute path to the required input time series.
• In the ALL file, set ObjectiveFunction=N.
• Start BlueM.Opt and optimize or start a sensitivity analysis.

Limitations:

• The simulation time period must be fixed (i.e. scenario simulations with varying simulation time periods are not supported).
