Example Setups for Common Scenarios
A number of setups are show in the following section for common scenarios.
Which parameters to enter into the Problem Definitions Tab will be provided for each scenario.
Minimize Detector CountMinimize Detector Count
The goal is to minimize the detector count for a target coverage, without an initial layout.
Maximize Coverage with Fixed Number of DetectorsMaximize Coverage with Fixed Number of Detectors
The goal is to maximize the coverage with a fixed number of detectors, without an initial layout.
Optimize Orientation of an Initial LayoutOptimize Orientation of an Initial Layout
An initial layout is already defined, and the optimal orientation of the detectors is required. The detector locations do not change.
Add Detectors to a Fixed Initial LayoutAdd Detectors to a Fixed Initial Layout
The initial layout is fixed, and detectors are required to be added around the initial layout. The minimum number of detectors is required to achieve the target coverage.
Add One Detector to a Fixed Initial LayoutAdd One Detector to a Fixed Initial Layout
In this scenario, a layout is set and one more detector is required to be positioned in the optimal location to maximize coverage.
This scenario is relevant when design changes have forced the replacement of a single detector in a previously designed layout. In that case, the detector to be removed can be deleted, and the setup below can be used to reposition it for maximum coverage.
The minimum detector count is required from an initial layout which can be supplemented by additional detectors. The orientation of the initial layout may be changed.
This scenario may be relevant due to design changes, or target coverage changes, where a low-cost solution is required that does not involve repositioning many detectors.
