Exporting Parameters and/or Bounds

You can export the parameters in your ASCMO-MOCA project, their bounds (scalar, curve and map parameters), or both. The available export methods depend on the parameter type and on the export format; Tab. 1 lists the available methods for each combination of export format and parameter type.

Export Format		Parameter Type
Export Format		scalar	curve	map	cube-3D	cube-4D	matrix	compressed model
DCM	*.dcm	pb	pb	pb	-	-	p	-
INCA CSV	*.csv	pb	pb	pb	-	-	p	-
CSV with columns		pb	pb	pb	-	-	-	-
CSV with matrix		pb	pb	pb	-	-	-	-
Excel with columns	.xls, .xlsx	pb	pb	pb	-	-	-	-
Excel with matrix	.xls, .xlsx	pb	pb	pb	-	-	-	-
Calibration data file	*.cdfx	pb	pb	pb	p	p	p	-
M-script	*.m	p	p	p	p	p	p	p

Tab. 1: Available export formats for parameter types (p: only parameter export available, pb: export of parameters and/or bounds available)

To export parameters and/or bounds, proceed as follows.

Do one of the following:

Open the Parameters pane and go to the "Parameters" tab.
Open the Optimization pane and go to the "Optimize" tab.

Note
An export from the Parameters pane exports the reference parameters, an export from the Optimization pane exports the optimization parameters.

In that pane, click on the button next to the Export button and select the export method Export Parameters, Export Bounds, or Export Parameters and Bounds from the drop-down menu.

Tab. 1 lists the export methods available for each combination of export format and parameter type. Items that cannot be exported (e.g., bounds for a cube parameter) are skipped, and warnings are issued in the log window.

A file selection window opens.

In the file selection window, enter or select path, name, and format for the export file.

Note
Bounds cannot be exported to *.m files.

Click on Save.

If you selected a DCM, CSV, Excel or Calibration data file format, the parameters and/or bounds are exported. Impossible combinations of parameter type, export format, and export method are ignored.

If you selected the M-script format, continue as follows.

The "Export to M-script" window opens. The table is the same as the mapping table (Mapping table (Parameters)) in the "Parameters Mapping" area in the lower part (Simulink variant) of the Models pane.

In the "Export to M-script" window, do the following:

Click on Create Default to map all parameters in your project to default Simulink parameters.

Click on Get from Simulink to map the MOCA parameters to parameters with identical names in the Simulink model.

Note
Only possible if your project contains a Simulink model.

Map the MOCA parameters manually.

column name

action

"MOCA Parameter"

Select a parameter from the combo box.

Note
Compressed model parameters cannot be mapped.

"Table Data Simulink"

Enter variable names to be used in the block mask.

"Breakpoints <n> Simulink"

If necessary, edit the values in the other columns.
If the desired mappings are defined, click on Export.

The parameters are exported. Incomplete mappings are ignored. Each compressed model parameter in your project is exported to a separate file named <filename>_<ComprModel_parametername>.m.
