In this section you are going to learn, step by step, how to build a Work Flow. The user can build his own test case or modify one of the following different templates. Every Work Flow Pattern has a particular feature and it may be used as the starting point for developing a Work Flow for a specific problem.
The different Work Flow Patterns we suggest are the following:
The Simple Work Flow Pattern represents the simplest way to handle an external application that uses an input file and produces an output file with the results.
The Transfer Function Pattern can be used to insert in the input file different parameters as combination of the input variables.
The Independent Applications Pattern is a simple Work Flow that handles two independent applications in a sequential path.
The Serial Applications Pattern is the typical example where the results of the first application affect the second application.
The Parallel Applications Pattern is useful if you have multiple software licenses and a multiprocessor computer where two or more independent applications can run concurrently.
The Conditional Work Flow Pattern performs a test on the input/output variables values and chooses different paths upon the test's result.
The Robust Design Work Flow Pattern is an advanced Work Flow that shows how to run a robust design optimization.
