Nrows function

Loads compiled fortran in shared file cnvrt and returns the number of rows in the resulting design

This function loads and runs the compiled fortran code cnvrt. cnvrt is Piepel's 1988 JQT fortran code for extreme vertices designs.

Nrows(ndm,nvrr,ncon2,rtheta2)

Arguments

• ndm: This is the order of centroids desired (0=none, 1=edge centroids, 2=face centroids etc.)
• nvrr: This is the number of mixture variables ( maximum is 12)
• ncon2: This is the number of constraints (maximum is 45)
• rtheta2: This is the constraint matrix stored as a vector of columns.

Returns

nvrtr - nvrtr: This is the number of rows in rxvt the matrix of extreme vertices and centroids
