After the optimization is finished, interpret your optimization results:
Select View, and then Solution Analysis in the OptQuest Results window.
The Solution Analysis view opens with a partial listing of the solutions that OptQuest tried during the optimization. The solutions are shown row-wise in the upper grid with a smaller grid giving the statistics for each column.
Notice that the OptQuest Results window has several menus you can use to copy results to your spreadsheet, copy charts, print results, view other charts, and more. For a list of menu commands and their shortcut keys, see the Oracle Crystal Ball Accessibility Guide.
Select which solutions to view.
Along with both grids are groups of controls you can use to filter the solutions to view. All of the controls combine to filter the set of solutions. Some controls show the number of solutions that will be included in parenthesis.
In the first group, select to view only the top number or percentage of best solutions (highest or lowest objective values), all of the solutions, or only the new best solutions (corresponding to up or down “jumps” in the performance chart).
In the next group, select whether to include feasible, infeasible, or both types of solutions.
If you have requested an efficient frontier analysis, select a test point from the dropdown menu in the last group. Notice that all of the solutions are considered for a particular test point, even if they were evaluated at a previous or later test point in the optimization.
Once you have chosen a set of solutions to analyze, you can click in a column heading to sort the solution by that heading. The small triangle indicates the direction of the sort order. You can also click the + or – symbol beside a group of columns to condense or expand the amount of information displayed.
