Optimization can't be stopped

[Shuaijie Wang]

Hi,

In my simulation, I set the optimizer iteration as 1000, but the optimization can't be stopped even when the step count reached 2000.
I am very confused about this problem? anyone can give me some suggestion?

here is my code:

Optimizer opt(sys, SimTK::LBFGSB);
opt.setConvergenceTolerance(0.05);
opt.useNumericalGradient(true);
opt.setMaxIterations(1000);
opt.setLimitedMemoryHistory(500);

Also, I set the lower_bound as -1, the upper_bound as 2, is it ok?
Thanks!

is there a function could force quit the optimization when the evaluation number reached 1000?

I tried stopMaxFunEvals (int) , it not works.

Thanks!

There may be some examples of this in the Simbody code. These optimizations are getting done via Simbody, so that would be the place to look.

I've stopped the optimize process a number of times in the past, without adverse effects. However, I did have a backup available in case of problems.
