Summary Sensitivity analysis is widely used in numerical simulations applied in industry. The robustness of such applications is crucial, which means they have to be fast and precise at the same time. However, the conventional approach to sensitivity analysis assumes realization of multiple execution of computationally intensive simulations to discover input/output dependencies. In this paper, we present a novel computational approach for performing large‐scale sensitivity analysis integrated with an extended platform for parameter studies – Scalarm – to make use of modern e‐infrastructures for distribution and parallelization purposes, profitable for complicated industrial problems.
