Response screening
Screening
Reduce number of retained responses => reduce computationally expensive sensitivity calculation
Only responses witch dont affect the direction of optimization should be screened out
Auto screening
On by default
Manual screening
For very large problems auto screening may be require too much memory
Constraints screening
For stable convergence number of retained responses should be higher than the number of active constraints
Use the same treshold and max retained like constraint screening. The bound is in this case the current max or min
value of the vector response

Debugging tips
Iteration 0:
Start with feasible design e.g. topology opti: MATINIT =1.0
Iteration n:
Look at the last design:
Postprocess *_des.h3d
Look at the last analysis results:
Option 1: Restart from iteration n-1: with only 1 Iteration > *.h3d
Option 2: rerun optimization with output card OUTPUT,H3D,ALL
