Configuring the Performance Input Parsing Instructions

Click the Input tab on the Simcode Component Editor.

The contents of the tab appear. You will notice that the input parameters that you have already created are in the Input Parameters area on the right side of the editor. The template file has placeholders for several input parameters. You need to replace the placeholders with the actual values of the parameters.

To convert the string LoverD (lift over drag) to a parameter value, select LoverD from the center of the editor.

1. Type LoD in the Parameter text box in the center of the editor.

   Once you begin to enter text, the text box is highlighted in yellow to indicate that the parameter does not exist but will be created.

2. Click the Write button adjacent to the Parameter text box.

   This action tells Isight to write the value of a parameter called LoD into the input file at the location where the term LoverD now resides. For the purpose of file parsing in the Simcode component, Isight typically writes parameters into the input file so that their values may change from run to run. Conversely, Isight reads values from output files after they are run through the Simcode.

   The editor is updated with the new action added to the Actions list and the new parameter added to the Input Parameters list.

Using the same procedure, create the following parameters:

The editor looks similar to the following figure:
