Hi Anita,

You are right, the constraint error is an obsolute error on the constraint. It 
is equal to |f(x_opt) - s| = |f(T(u_opt)) - s| where f is your code, T the 
inverse iso-probabilistic transformation that maps the standard space into the 
physical space, u_opt the design point (so in the standard space) and x_opt = 
T(u_opt) its image in the physical space.

Are you 100% sure that you compute f at the correct point in your verification? 
If you compare f(u_opt) with s, it is wrong (and I suspect that you did it 
;-)). Otherwise there is a bug and we need more input from your side in order 
to catch it.

Cheers

Régis

Hi all,
I have a simple question regarding the constraint error of a FORM analysis, the 
constraint error is defined as |f(u_n) - s| , i.e. the absolute difference 
between the result and the threshold.

In my case, the result in the design point is 845.307471892986 and the 
threshold is 850 (in the physical space).
I would expect the constraint error to be about 4.69, but the value obtained 
with the method getConstraintError() is 4.59. Why?

If I calculate the difference between the result and the threshold for each 
performed evaluation, I never find 4.59.

Could it be different because it is calculated in the standard space u? How 
could I verify the value?

Thank you for your time!
