recording simple annealing run

Hi all,

I have a Galapagos question

Is there a simple way of recording the best answer of each annealing run when using the simple annealing solver? I read on David's blog that the best answer is cached before the solver starts another run, but where is that information located/stored.

Thanks in advance for the help, I apologize if this has been covered already but I couldn't find the answer in the forum.

Ben

I don't think that you can extract the geometry as a native function of Galapagos.

Try the Record component. If you record all iterations produced you can test the length of the list. You can set up a function that records all the results of your fitness function, sort them and take the lowest or highest depending on what you are optimizing for. Hook a list item up to your recorded geometry (sorted in the same fashion) and you should find what you are looking for.

If you're just looking for the answer and not geometry, it should be in the Galapagos Species Record (Record tab) of the Galapagos window.
