Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for identifying and forming a simulant includes identifying a composition, identifying a plurality of ingredients, the simulant being a combination of the ingredients, identifying for evaluation one or more metrics of the simulant, determining proportions of each of the ingredients by optimizing a quadratic function based on the one or more metrics of the simulant, rendering, via a GUI, a 3D plot that depicts the metrics and a target point specified by the target values of the composition, when the target point is contained within a convex set defined by the identified ingredients, outputting the determined proportions of each of the identified ingredients and, otherwise, receiving user input to adjust the convex set by user selecting and moving the data points of the 3D plot to modify the metrics of the simulant to produce a new 3D plot, and identifying alternative ingredients and/or alternative proportions.
