About this Block

What it does: The Evaluate Parameter block computes the value of a Dependent Parameter using a specified set of inputs.. This is useful to evaluate a dependant parameter with known input values instead of values returned by an optimization. If no parameter values are provided as inputs to this block, the default values for the parameter will be returned (or the value of the dependant parameter based on default input parameters). Common uses:
  • Debugging a Dependent Parameter to check its output with various inputs.
  • Performing a quick check to set a constraint value before starting a full optimization.
Tips
  • The Dependent Parameter input is the only required input.
    • If you do not provide a group of Input Parameters, the block will use the default values to perform the evaluation.
    • This block provides a way to “Preview” a calculated parameter’s value.
Computes the value of a Dependent Parameter for a specified collection of input Parameters with constant or known values.
