Description

After the surrogate model has been built, Dakota will export it to a binary archival file suitable only for use with the surfpack executable (bin/surfpack). The file is named using the pattern {prefix}.{response_descriptor}.bsps, in which 'bsps' stands for Binary Surfpack Surrogate. See filename_prefix for further information about exported surrogate file naming.

The Dakota examples folder includes a demonstration of using the surfpack executable with an exported model file.
