New Cost Function for comparing runs to a target run. #15

Open DrewSimtech opened 6 years ago

DrewSimtech commented 6 years ago

As a designer I would like to be able to have a cost function which compares sim run data to target run data. As the comparison converges to the same data the cost function should approach zero.

Using the code from the postflight plotting tool, we can sum the comparison array to create a cost function for a specific output. Adding together several cost functions this way can get us a more comprehensive cost function. Since the scale of each output isn't uniform the cost weight attribute would be a good tool in normalizing the importance of each cost function.
