Add a variable or parameter to a Case Study

You can add any type of variable to a Case Study. However, you can add only Real and Integer types of parameters to a Case Study.

Add a variable or parameter to a Case Study

1. On the Case Study Manager, select the Case Study, and then select Edit.

   The Case Study opens in the Case Study Editor.

2. In the Variables and Parameters area, select Add manipulated variable or parameter or observed variable .

   A new row appears in the list of variables and parameters.

   

3. In the Name column for the new row, enter the name of the variable or parameter that you want to add.

   A list of available variables and parameters appears as you enter the name. You can select a variable or parameter from this list to automatically complete the name of the variable or parameter in the Name column.

   

4. Navigate away from the new variable or parameter in the list to automatically populate the Type and Units columns.

   Currently, the Units value comes from the simulation, and you cannot change it in the Case Study. If you want to change this value for the Case Study, you must change the unit of measure (UOM) in the simulation.

5. (Optional) Specify the variable or parameter as a manipulated variable or parameter.

   You can specify up to two variables and parameters as manipulated. See Specify the manipulated variables and parameters for a Case Study for more information.
