The 'Design Analysis Kit for Optimization and Terascale Applications' ('DAKOTA') is a
software toolkit providing a flexible, extensible interface between analysis codes and
iterative systems analysis methods. DAKOTA contains optimization
algorithms using
gradient and nongradient-based methods, parameter estimation with
nonlinear least squares methods, uncertainty quantification with sampling, reliability, and
stochastic finite element methods, and sensitivity/variance analysis with design of experiments and parameter study capabilities.
