About Parameters and Variables

Parameter and Variable Editor

When you select a component in the Component Browser, its parameters, variables, and constants are by default displayed in the Parameter and Variable Editor.

Parameters and Variables Edition

Parameters, variables, and constants are by default displayed in the Parameter and Variable Editor.

You can edit parameters, variables, and constants through:

• Component Parameters Edition dialog box (editing a component).

  For more information, see Displaying and Editing Modelica Parameters.

• Parameters and Variable Edition dialog box (editing the active class).

  For more information, see Defining Parameters and Editing Properties of Parameters.

The default values that are changed are considered as overloaded. An overloaded value is indicated by a green marker in front of the corresponding box.

Values of parameters/variables/constants that are defined in the active class (locally defined) are indicated by an orange marker in front of the corresponding box. Such values cannot have any indication of overloading.

You can select customized units from Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Multi Discipline Automated Engineering > Knowledge Basics, the Units tab.
