method_name

Specify sub-method by name

## Specification

Alias: approx_method_name

Argument(s): STRING

## Description

The `method_name` keyword is used to specify a sub-method by Dakota method name (e.g. 'npsol_sqp') rather than block pointer. The method will be executed using its default settings. The optional `model_pointer` specification can be used to associate a model block with the method.
