Description

This command is used to define default values to parameters inside a scope (see example below). The default value is overwritten by any prior defined value.

The range ID (rid) refers to either one of the commands PARAMETER_RANGE_CONTINUOUS, PARAMETER_RANGE_DISCRETE or PARAMETER_RANGE_BOOL.

Defining a physical quantity (quantity) is optional. It helps IMPETUS Solver determine how to convert parameters between different unit systems.
