This file is derived automatically from dakota.input.nspec, which is used in the generation of parser system files that are compiled into the DAKOTA executable. Therefore, these files are the definitive source for input syntax, capability options, and associated data inputs. Refer to Instructions for Modifying DAKOTA's Input Specification for information on how to modify the input specification and propagate the changes through the parsing system.
Key features of the input specification and the associated user input files include:
[], required group specifications are enclosed in
(), and either-or relationships are denoted by the
| symbol. These symbols only appear in dakota.input.nspec; they must not appear in actual user input files.strategy
, method
, model
, variables
, interface
, and responses
) begin with the keyword possibly preceded by white space (blanks, tabs, and newlines) both in the input specifications and in user input files. For readability, keyword specifications may be spread across several lines. Earlier versions of DAKOTA (prior to 4.1) required a backslash character (\) at the ends of intermediate lines of a keyword. While such backslashes are still accepted, they are no longer required.INTEGER
, REAL
, STRING
, INTEGERLIST
, REALLIST
, or STRINGLIST
data as part of the specification. In a user input file, the "="
is optional, data in a LIST
can be separated by commas or whitespace, and the STRING
data are enclosed in single or double quotes (e.g., 'text_book'
or "text_book").npsol_sqp
specification within the method keyword could be abbreviated as npsol
, but dot_sqp
should not be abbreviated as dot
since this would be ambiguous with other DOT method specifications.#
