What the Scale Factor does in the Simulink Design Optimization when creating a Design Variables set?

Hi All,

I have a simulink model and I am setting up a Design Optimization in order to meet custom requirements (my cost function)

The first thing to do in setting such process is to create a Design Variables set

In the picture attached you can see the parameters I selected with the Minimum and Maximum value that I choose for each of the parameters.

The last column values,those in "Scale", have been provided by default when I open this window.

I tried to find some information in the documentation center regarding the meaning of this "Scale" factor but I could not find an exhaustive answer.

Could you please help me to understand what this parameter actually is used for and how this will effect the optimization?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

G
