Parameter Mapping Compatibility

You can map parameters to each other based on compatible parameter modes, array dimensions, and data types.

In the tables below, the following icons indicate whether or not parameters can be mapped:

A mapping is possible.
A mapping is impossible.
A mapping is possible after confirmation.

Parameter Mode Compatibility

The following parameter mappings are possible based on parameter modes:

Source Mode Destination Mode Mapping Possible - Source is parent, destination is child Mapping Possible - Source is child, destination is parent Mapping Possible - Source is sibling, destination is downstream

If the source parameter is a sibling and the destination parameter is upstream from the source parameter, a mapping is impossible.

Array Compatibility

You cannot map an array parameter to a scalar parameter. If the source parameter and destination parameter are both arrays, mappings are possible or impossible in the following cases:

Source Parameter Destination Parameter Condition Mapping Possible
Not Resizable Not Resizable Same dimension and size

Different dimension or size

Resizable Same dimension

Same dimension, different sizes

Different dimension
