temporary goal

   How do I define a timed goal of a meter that is only valid or observed between 2 and 3 seconds of my simulation? Outside this time window, the goal or constraint is not considered.

if(2 < time < 3,output[4].y3,0)

Assuming that the output[4].y3 is always significantly > 0 and is to be minimised, how can the optimiser then only optimise within this time window? Otherwise, 0 would always be the best result, because it is present before 2 s and after 3 s.

	There is a simple solution. Create a meter that only displays valid values during the relevant time. Outside this time, the meter shows 0 or another constant value which fits best to your optimization needs. Then use this meter as an optimization goal. For the problem described above, you can create a meter with the following formula: if(and(time>=2,time<=3),output[4].y3,0) Now minimize the maximum of this meter, that's it.
