      All the derived parameters are already “enabled” in Optimization. In the Results, if you check the ‘Samples’ option shows all the enabled input and output parameters which also includes derived input and output parameters. ANSYS Help file indicates that Initial Samples should be equal to or greater than enabled input & output parameter. While Number of Samples/Iteration should be equal to or less than Initial Samples. But this can not be less than total enabled input & output parameters.
