Optional keyword parameters to define tabularly dependent parameters (if any are specified,
they must all be specified):
DEPENDENT
Set this keyword parameter equal to the list of dependent parameters being defined in this option.
The list must be given inside parentheses as parameter names separated by commas; for example,
(depPar1, depPar2, depPar3)
.
INDEPENDENT
Set this keyword parameter equal to the list of independent parameters used in this option. The
list must be given inside parentheses as parameter names separated by commas; for example,
(indPar1, indPar2, indPar3)
.
TABLE
Set this keyword parameter equal to the name of the parameter dependence table, defined by the
*PARAMETER DEPENDENCE option, that defines the relationship between the dependent and
independent parameters in this option.
Data lines to define independent or expressionally dependent parameters if the DEPENDENT,
INDEPENDENT, and TABLE keyword parameters are omitted:
First line:
1. Python expression assigning a value to a parameter.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define independent and expressionally dependent
parameters. The data given on this data line cannot be parameterized.
