OOF2: The Manual
Name
Unconditional (Unconditional) — Unconditionally accept the best change even if it increases the energy.
Synopsis
Unconditional
(alpha
)
Details
-
Base class:
SkelModCriterion
-
Parameters:
alpha
- alpha controls the relative importance of element shape and homogeneity. alpha=0 emphasizes shape and ignores homogeneity. alpha=1 emphasizes homogeneity and ignores shape. Type: A real number in the range [0, 1].
Description
The Unconditional
SkelModCriterion is used as the
criterion
for Skeleton
modification
operations. It accepts any legal change
in the Skeleton
. If more than one change is possible, the one that
decreases the effective element energy
the most is accepted.
The only difference between Unconditional
and AverageEnergy is that
Unconditional
will accept modifications
that increase the energy, if no better
alternative exists. AverageEnergy will reject all
modifications that increase the energy.
See AverageEnergy for more details.
