Dependent Parameters

Model parameters can be connected to other system or model parameters via a mathematical dependency. Calibrating parameters can therefore lead to inconsistencies.

To avoid possible inconsistencies from parameter calibration, it is possible within ASCET to specify the dependency of a parameter in the specification editors. The dependency of a parameter is represented by a mathematical formula.

A dependent parameter can depend on a non-dependent, or "master" parameter either directly or indirectly:

• direct dependency

  dependentParam1 = f(masterParam)

• indirect dependency

  dependentParam1 = f1(dependentParam2) with dependentParam2 = f2(masterParam)

While dependent parameters of scope imported are not allowed, you can import dependent parameters exported in another component of your model, see Importing Dependent Parameters.
