A method of managing objects and parameter values associated with the objects within a simulation model

摘要

A method of managing objects within the simulation model commences with the storage of a first value for a particular parameter within an object of the simulation model. A panel is then displayed within the user interface. The relevant parameter of the above-identified object may then be identified for inclusion within this panel. In response to the identification of the parameter, an identifier (such as an icon) associated with the parameter is displayed within the panel. A second value for the relevant parameter of the object may then be inputted by a user via the panel. The second value for the parameter is then stored separately from the first value for the parameter, and these first and second values can be selectively applied to the parameter.
