Hi every one I'm trying to optimizing a building design, by coupling ENErgyplus and an optimisation tools GENOPT . for that , i'm using a Hybrid Generalized Pattern Search Algorithm with Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (GPSPSOCCHJ) for discrete and continous variable. but i can't understand how to determine the number of particle for this optimisation .

Please , give an idea about the mean of this parametr(NumberOfParticle ).

Thanks
