x_multi_point

MPP search for local reliability based on QMEA multi-point approximation in u-space

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

## Description

Local reliability methods that search for the most probable point of failure (MPP) may use a surrogate-based optimization procedure. The `x_multi_point` surrogate option creates a QMEA approximation in the original random variable space ("x-space") from accumulating data from multiple expansion points.

This capability is experimental.
