The Optimizer extension for STK/Analyzer —built by Phoenix Integration, Inc.—is an integrated add-on module that
extends STK/Analyzer’s parametric analysis capabilities. It adds three different optimization algorithms to the four existing
parametric analyses offered with STK/Analyzer, and is accessed from the same GUI interface. Optimizer also features two
design tools for further trade space exploration and parametric analysis insight. Combined with STK/Analyzer, Optimizer eliminates
the need for scripts or programming, while providing answers to questions such as:
How can I optimize my antenna properties to maximize signal-to-noise ratio?
What is the best maneuver attitude pointing to achieve my desired orbit?
How do I optimize my maneuvers to minimize fuel usage?
How can I maximize my collection time over an area of interest?

How can I optimize my defense system parameters to maximize coverage?
Optimizer for STK/Analyzer is easily incorporated into STK scenarios focusing on mission planning, real-time
operations, and post-mission assessment—including analyses utilizing STK modules such as STK/Coverage,
STK/Communications, and STK/Astrogator.
Optimizer can:
- search for better designs using classical gradient-based techniques
- reduce the number of required scenario executions with algorithms that are not likely to get stuck in local optima.
- solve engineering design problems with algorithms that effectively search discontinuous and "noisy" design spaces.
- solve design problems that contain multiple objectives or discretely varying design variables.
- gain insight into key design parameters and assess their effects on product and process performance.
- visualize and interactively investigate a design space.
- predict the values of output variables for any combination of input variables.
