**Description**


When specified, Dakota execution will include the
post-run mode, which analyzes parameter/response data sets and
computes final results..  This mode is currently useful for parameter
study, DACE, and Monte Carlo sampling methods.

*Default Behavior*

When no run modes are specified, Dakota will perform pre-run, run, and
post-run phases.
