    Abstract: A design method generates a plurality of groups of experimental conditions, each of the groups of experimental conditions includes performance variables for an electronic product with nonlinear performance. The method simulates values to the groups of experimental conditions, computes an average value, and divides the groups of experimental conditions into a first part and a second part. The values in the first part is greater than the average value and the values in the second part is less than the average value. The method computes nonlinear boundary values of a refining mechanism based on the values, and determines a threshold value of the refiner. After refining the groups of experimental conditions, the method calculates the deviation of each value from the threshold value, and determines the groups of experimental conditions with the greatest deviations as optimal groups of experimental conditions.
