The Metaparameter Explorer Adding usages manually allows you to calibrate a variable using an expression. For example, if you want to calibrate a link variable, you can specify this in the Metaparameter Explorer, and then assign it a value using the Function manager.To open the Metaparameter Exploreruse a function to almost any parameter in the model that doesn't specifically allow for it in the main user interface. For example .
To add in usages manually, right click on the required function and choose Add Usage.
Suppose you want to calibrate the storage routing exponent (m) on one of the reaches in a Source model. Initially, identify which link or node in the model you want to place the expression in. Then , use the Metaparameter Explorer add the function usage manually to allocate a parameter to the variable (steps outlined in Figure 1). You can now use the command line to run the model many times while varying the parameter:Command Line Runner. This is also be used for setting up project to run with Insight: Objective optimisation or making otherwise static parameters change over time.
