Interactive Console

Bridge the gap between parameters, scripts, and the running model. Define variables, sweep values, and inspect results without breaking flow.

Outcomes

• Set and get parameters programmatically while the model is open
• Perform quick calculations and sanity checks alongside your graph
• Run parameter sweeps and record responses

Common tasks

• Bind variables: link k, c, m to block parameters for live control
• Calculate derived values: e.g., omega_n = sqrt(k/m), zeta = c/(2*sqrt(k*m))
• Quick experiments: loop over a set of k values and log peak displacement

Typical flow

1. Declare variables
   • Example: m = 1.0, k = 50.0, c = 0.8
2. Bind variables to parameters
   • Select blocks and set parameter fields to variable names
3. Run and inspect
   • Start simulation; watch variables and plots update in real time
4. Sweep and compare
   • Change a variable or run a short loop; export results if needed
