Radar chart

In this example, we illustrate the use of the RadarChart plot on the Sobieski’s SSBJ problem.

from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals

from future import standard_library

Import

The first step is to import some functions from the API and a method to get the design space.

from gemseo.api import configure_logger, create_discipline, create_scenario
from gemseo.problems.sobieski.core import SobieskiProblem

configure_logger()

standard_library.install_aliases()

Create disciplines

Then, we instantiate the disciplines of the Sobieski’s SSBJ problem: Propulsion, Aerodynamics, Structure and Mission

disciplines = create_discipline(
    [
        "SobieskiPropulsion",
        "SobieskiAerodynamics",
        "SobieskiStructure",
        "SobieskiMission",
    ]
)

Create design space

We also read the design space from the SobieskiProblem.

design_space = SobieskiProblem().read_design_space()

Create and execute scenario

The next step is to build a MDO scenario in order to maximize the range, encoded ‘y_4’, with respect to the design parameters, while satisfying the inequality constraints ‘g_1’, ‘g_2’ and ‘g_3’. We can use the MDF formulation, the SLSQP optimization algorithm and a maximum number of iterations equal to 100.

scenario = create_scenario(
    disciplines,
    formulation="MDF",
    objective_name="y_4",
    maximize_objective=True,
    design_space=design_space,
)
scenario.set_differentiation_method("user")
for constraint in ["g_1", "g_2", "g_3"]:
    scenario.add_constraint(constraint, "ineq")
scenario.execute({"algo": "SLSQP", "max_iter": 10})

Out:

{'algo': 'SLSQP', 'max_iter': 10}

Post-process scenario

Lastly, we post-process the scenario by means of the RadarChart plot which plots on a radar style chart a list of constraint functions at a given iteration. By default, the iteration is the last one. This plot scales better with the number of constraints than the constraint plot provided by the OptHistoryView plot.

scenario.post_process(
    "RadarChart",
    constraints_list=["g_1", "g_2", "g_3"],
    save=False,
    show=True,
    figsize_x=5,
    figsize_y=5,
)
Constraints at last iteration

Out:
