STRING DESCRIPTION:

The string description describes what the variable is used for:

STRING VALUE:

A String Value is a series of strings such as:

'resim_1.m','resim_2.m','resim_1.m','resim_2.m',...

The Base String for this series would be specified with:

'resim_%d.m'.

and the Base Substring would be specified as

%d

The '%d' is replaced by the applying the following formula:

%d = Base Value + Value

where Value is calculated as:

Value = (n-1)*(Step Value)

where n is the number of simulation steps.

When the number of simulation steps equals Modulo Count, then the series is reset.

VALUE VECTOR

A Value Vector is a vector of values which specifies the exact value for Value.

With this configuration, the series:

resim_1.m
resim_2.m
resim_3.m
resim_4.m

would be generated.

If Base Value is 1000, then the series:

resim_1001.m
resim_1002.m
resim_1003.m
resim_1004.m

would be generated.

STRING TABLE:

A String Table specifies the exact values of a string variable by using a text file.  Each line specifies a single value for the string variable.  If the line starts with a '%', then the line is considered to be a comment.

If the file 'myvalues.txt' contained:

%MLL conservative input files
resim_1001.m
resim_2001.m
resim_3001.m
resim_4001.m

Then the string variable would get these values:

simulation step #1 - resim_1001.m
simulation step #2 - resim_2001.m
simulation step #3 - resim_3001.m
simulation step #4 - resim_4001.m
