1 Switching from Dakota 5.* to Dakota 6.0.0

Since the release of Dakota 6.0.0, few modifications have to be made in order to run cases made with Dakota 5.*.

The following changes have to be applied to Dakota 5.* input files (for example, dakota_of.in in the Blunt Body case):


  • In the first specification block, change the keyword "strategy with "environment";
  • In the same block, remove the line "single_method";
  • In the specifications block 4 and 5, remove commas from the keyword: change "variables," to "variables and "interface," to "interface".


With these simple but necessary changes, you should be able to run cases made with the previous versions of Dakota smoothly.

2 Switching from Dakota 6.0.0 to Dakota 6.1.0

The following changes have to be applied to Dakota 6.0.0 input files (for example, dakota_of.in in the Blunt Body case) in order to use them with Dakota 6.1.0:


   In the interface block change the template_directory keyword to copy_files, e.g.,

#version 6.0.0

        #template_directory = 'templatedir'
        #version 6.1.0
         copy_files = 'templatedir/*'
