batch_size

Number of optimal designs selected concurrently

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): INTEGER

## Description

Each iteration of the `experimental_design` algorithm yields `batch_size` optimal designs. If `max_hifi` is set to zero, these values will merely be reported in Dakota output and the file `experimental_design_output.txt`. Otherwise, the high-fidelity model will be run at all optimal designs, and the responses will be added to the list of experiment data before the Bayesian calibration is performed in the next iteration of the algorithm.

Default Behavior

By default, optimal designs will be selected one at a time.
