Implemented automated post-processing capabilities for optimization workflows,
including publication-quality visualization and intelligent model cleanup to
manage disk space.
## New Features
### 1. Automated Visualization System (optimization_engine/visualizer.py)
**Capabilities**:
- 6 plot types: convergence, design space, parallel coordinates, sensitivity,
constraints, objectives
- Publication-quality output: PNG (300 DPI) + PDF (vector graphics)
- Auto-generated plot summary statistics
- Configurable output formats
**Plot Types**:
- Convergence: Objective vs trial number with running best
- Design Space: Parameter evolution colored by performance
- Parallel Coordinates: High-dimensional visualization
- Sensitivity Heatmap: Parameter correlation analysis
- Constraint Violations: Track constraint satisfaction
- Objective Breakdown: Multi-objective contributions
**Usage**:
```bash
# Standalone
python optimization_engine/visualizer.py substudy_dir png pdf
# Automatic (via config)
"post_processing": {"generate_plots": true, "plot_formats": ["png", "pdf"]}
```
### 2. Model Cleanup System (optimization_engine/model_cleanup.py)
**Purpose**: Reduce disk usage by deleting large CAD/FEM files from non-optimal trials
**Strategy**:
- Keep top-N best trials (configurable, default: 10)
- Delete large files: .prt, .sim, .fem, .op2, .f06, .dat, .bdf
- Preserve ALL results.json files (small, critical data)
- Dry-run mode for safety
**Usage**:
```bash
# Standalone
python optimization_engine/model_cleanup.py substudy_dir --keep-top-n 10
# Dry run (preview)
python optimization_engine/model_cleanup.py substudy_dir --dry-run
# Automatic (via config)
"post_processing": {"cleanup_models": true, "keep_top_n_models": 10}
```
**Typical Savings**: 50-90% disk space reduction
### 3. History Reconstruction Tool (optimization_engine/generate_history_from_trials.py)
**Purpose**: Generate history.json from older substudy formats
**Usage**:
```bash
python optimization_engine/generate_history_from_trials.py substudy_dir
```
## Configuration Integration
### JSON Configuration Format (NEW: post_processing section)
```json
{
"optimization_settings": { ... },
"post_processing": {
"generate_plots": true,
"plot_formats": ["png", "pdf"],
"cleanup_models": true,
"keep_top_n_models": 10,
"cleanup_dry_run": false
}
}
```
### Runner Integration (optimization_engine/runner.py:656-716)
Post-processing runs automatically after optimization completes:
- Generates plots using OptimizationVisualizer
- Runs model cleanup using ModelCleanup
- Handles exceptions gracefully with warnings
- Prints post-processing summary

- optimization_engine/generate_history_from_trials.py - History reconstruction
- docs/PHASE_3_3_VISUALIZATION_AND_CLEANUP.md - Complete documentation
- docs/OPTUNA_DASHBOARD.md - Optuna dashboard guide
- docs/STUDY_ORGANIZATION.md - Study organization guide
## Dependencies
**Required** (for visualization):
- matplotlib >= 3.10
- numpy < 2.0 (pyNastran compatibility)
- pandas >= 2.3
**Optional** (for real-time monitoring):
- optuna-dashboard
## Known Issues & Workarounds
**Issue**: atomizer environment has corrupted matplotlib/numpy dependencies
**Workaround**: Use test_env environment (has working dependencies)
**Long-term Fix**: Rebuild atomizer environment cleanly (pending)
**Issue**: Older substudies missing history.json
**Solution**: Use generate_history_from_trials.py to reconstruct
## Next Steps
**Immediate**:
1. Rebuild atomizer environment with clean dependencies
2. Test automated post-processing on new optimization run
3. Consider applying study organization recommendations to existing study
**Future Enhancements** (Phase 3.4):
- Interactive HTML plots (Plotly)
- Automated report generation (Markdown → PDF)
- Video animation of design evolution
- 3D scatter plots for high-dimensional spaces
- Statistical analysis (confidence intervals, significance tests)
- Multi-substudy comparison reports

Optuna Dashboard Integration
Atomizer leverages Optuna's built-in dashboard for advanced real-time optimization visualization.
Quick Start
1. Install Optuna Dashboard
# Using atomizer environment
conda activate atomizer
pip install optuna-dashboard
2. Launch Dashboard for a Study
# Navigate to your substudy directory
cd studies/simple_beam_optimization/substudies/full_optimization_50trials
# Launch dashboard pointing to the Optuna study database
optuna-dashboard sqlite:///optuna_study.db
The dashboard will start at http://localhost:8080
3. View During Active Optimization
# Start optimization in one terminal
python studies/simple_beam_optimization/run_optimization.py
# In another terminal, launch dashboard
cd studies/simple_beam_optimization/substudies/full_optimization_50trials
optuna-dashboard sqlite:///optuna_study.db
The dashboard updates in real-time as new trials complete!

Integration with Atomizer Workflow
Study Organization
Each Atomizer substudy has its own Optuna database:
studies/simple_beam_optimization/
├── substudies/
│ ├── full_optimization_50trials/
│ │ ├── optuna_study.db # ← Optuna database (SQLite)
│ │ ├── optuna_study.pkl # ← Optuna study object (pickle)
│ │ ├── history.json # ← Atomizer history
│ │ └── plots/ # ← Matplotlib plots
│ └── validation_3trials/
│ └── optuna_study.db
Visualization Comparison
Optuna Dashboard (Interactive, Web-based):
- ✅ Real-time updates during optimization
- ✅ Interactive plots (zoom, hover, filter)
- ✅ Parameter importance analysis
- ✅ Multiple study comparison
- ❌ Requires web browser
- ❌ Not embeddable in reports
Atomizer Matplotlib Plots (Static, High-quality):

Troubleshooting
"No studies found"
Make sure you're pointing to the correct database file:
# Check if optuna_study.db exists
ls studies/*/substudies/*/optuna_study.db
# Use absolute path if needed
optuna-dashboard sqlite:///C:/Users/antoi/Documents/Atomaste/Atomizer/studies/simple_beam_optimization/substudies/full_optimization_50trials/optuna_study.db
Database Locked
If optimization is actively writing to the database:
# Use read-only mode
optuna-dashboard sqlite:///optuna_study.db?mode=ro
Port Already in Use
# Use different port
optuna-dashboard sqlite:///optuna_study.db --port 8888
Example Workflow
# 1. Start optimization
python studies/simple_beam_optimization/run_optimization.py
# 2. In another terminal, launch Optuna dashboard
cd studies/simple_beam_optimization/substudies/full_optimization_50trials
optuna-dashboard sqlite:///optuna_study.db
# 3. Open browser to http://localhost:8080 and watch optimization live
# 4. After optimization completes, generate static plots
python -m optimization_engine.visualizer studies/simple_beam_optimization/substudies/full_optimization_50trials png pdf
# 5. View final plots
explorer studies/simple_beam_optimization/substudies/full_optimization_50trials/plots
