Scaling Parameter Module

The Scaling Parameter module allows to apply a scaling factor to parameter values defined in the parsing rule file ("parameter" element).

A typical usage scenario would include the change of material parameters or shell thickness that is correlated with another predictor. An example of application (including a python script to compute material parameters as a function of age) is provided for the PIPER child model.

The module GUI is divided in two part:

• A table: a list of parameters defined in the PIPER model identified by their name in the first column of the table. A default value is set to 1.O for the scaling factor displayed in the second column. The scaling factor can be modified by selecting and setting a new value of the appropriate line.
• A module output: in this panel, the Scaling Parameter module provides output.

Scaling Parameter Module UI

Button "Load Values": loads scaling factors values defined in a file. Scaling factors values are updated according to values defined in the file.

Example of control points file:

parameterName1 1.2
parameterName2 0.85
parameterName3 3
....

Button "Appy Scaling": applies scaling factors values to parameter values.
