How to use Foqus?

1. Install Foqus on your computer.
2. Start a project via “New Project”.
3. Define variables — the parameters you’re testing and the decision variables you want to adjust.
4. Set objective functions — what you want to maximize, minimize, or hit as a target value.
5. Add constraints — any limitations your analysis must follow.
6. Run the optimization to find the best solution based on your setup.
7. Analyze results to understand outcomes and inform decisions.
8. Save and export your project and results.
9. Run sensitivity analysis to see how changes in variables affect outcomes.
10. Explore additional features such as uncertainty analysis and reliability analysis for more in-depth modeling.
