Variable groups

A submodel can be configured so that its parameters and variables are grouped together. In this case, they are displayed as follows:

Figure 137: Parameter Groups

Figure 138: Variable Groups

Note

Parameter and variable groups as shown here are only present if they have been configured in Submodel Editor.

You can change your parameter settings and plot curves as usual.

Editing parameter groups

If a parameter group is configured to be editable, the configured editor is listed next to the parameter group title:

2. Click to browse to locate the editor of your choice.

Note You can also put additional command line arguments in this field which will be used when calling the editor. For example, to start a Python script with additional arguments arg1 and arg2, you would use: AMEPython path/to/script.py arg1 arg2

3. Editor type. Select from:

executable: Select this option if your editor is an executable. Parameter passing mode is automatically set to file.

dynamic library: If you use a dynamic library, you have two options for Parameter passing mode (see below).

4. Parameter passing mode. Here you have two options:

file: parameters are passed to the editor in a file, as they are for an executable editor type.

Function call: If you select this option, you must enter the Editor start function(the name of the function contained in the dynamic library that recuperates the data to use in the editor) and Editor close function(the name of the function contained in the dynamic library that provides the modified data from the editor).
