Driver Debug Printing

When working with a model, it may sometimes be helpful to print out the design variables, constraints, and objectives as the Driver iterates. OpenMDAO provides options on the Driver to let you do that.

Driver Options

Option	Default	Acceptable Values	Acceptable Types	Description
debug_print	[]	N/A	['list']	List of what type of Driver variables to print at each iteration. Valid items in list are 'desvars', 'ln_cons', 'nl_cons', 'objs', 'totals'

Usage

This example shows how to use the Driver debug printing options. The debug_print option is a list of strings. Valid strings include ‘desvars’, ‘ln_cons’, ‘nl_cons’, and ‘objs’. Note that the values for the design variables printed are unscaled, physical values.

Paraboloid class definition

        self.add_input('x', val=0.0)
        self.add_input('y', val=0.0)

        """
        x = inputs['x']

We can also use the debug printing to print some basic information about the derivative calculations so that you can see which derivative is being solved, how long it takes, and the computed values by including the ‘totals’ string in the “debug_print” list.
