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 as follows:
- In version 6.0.0 you do like this,
template_directory = 'templatedir'
- In version 6.1.0 you should do like this,
copy_files = 'templatedir/*'
The rest of the input file remains unchanged.
