Displaying and Editing Modelica Parameters

Edit Modelica Parameters lets you display parameters and other modifiers for all classes, but not edit them. In an active and editable class, you can edit the parameters and other modifiers of one component, or multiselected components of the same class, at the same time.

  1. To see more information about the parameter, right-click the parameter box and select View Parameter Settings.
  2. If available, click Edit after the box to get help on how to, for example, insert matrix values.

    Tip: You can also click the small triangle after the box to display the context menu to select Edit .

  3. To find and insert any variable or component name, click the small triangle after the parameter or start value box and select Insert component reference.

    Note: You can also browse and select variables or components from the current model and its subcomponents.

  4. To change the behavior of a start value in the Initialization area in the General tab of the dialog box, click the corresponding checkbox and select an alternative.

  5. To define an attribute (minimum, maximum, unit...) for a parameter, variable or subparameters, click Edit in the Modelica parameters dialog.
