Use the Sensitivity Analysis and Compare Sensitivity Analysis tabs to compare
sensitivity data across two versions of Radioss/OptiStruct. You can maintain a config file that contains the
parameter(s) to change for the sensitivity study. Based on the config file, a certain number
of decks are generated and solved, and a report is generated comparing the sensitivity
corridor, response curve (Time vs Response), and statistical details.
