analytic_gradients

Analysis driver will return gradients

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

## Description

The `analytic_gradients` specification means that gradient information is available directly from the simulation (finite differencing is not required). The simulation must return the gradient data in the Dakota format (enclosed in single brackets; see Dakota File Data Formats in the Users Manual[4]) for the case of file transfer of data. The `analytic_gradients` keyword is a complete specification for this case.
