Another issue is the robustness and convergence of the IDIC algorithm itself, which has been explored in this proceeding. The basis of the algorithm is the minimization of the residual. Different approaches for this minimization exist, of which a Gauss-Newton method is used most often. In this paper several other methods are presented as well and their performance is compared in terms of number of FE simulations needed, since this is the most time-consuming step in the iterative procedure. The results presented show varying performance and robustness for different methods. Derivative free methods, like Nelder-Mead, tend to require a great amount of iterations, but it should be noted that this may not be bad for performance, because perturbation of input parameters is not required and hence less FE evaluations, the most computationally expensive step, are executed per iteration. The custom Gauss-Newton with update limit is a robust and performance-wise
