design_variables

## Description

Design variables are adjusted in the course of seeking an optimal design or an optimal set of deterministic calibration parameters.

Continuous design variables, which may assume any real value within specified bounds, are the most common design variable type in engineering applications. All but a handful of the optimization algorithms in Dakota support continuous design variables exclusively.
