PARSES GROUP_DEFINE PARAMETERS FROM MADYMO¶
Parses a Madymo XML input file and extracts all GROUP_DEFINE elements, retrieving their VAR_NAME and VALUE attributes as a structured parameter dataset. Use this worker to enumerate tunable Madymo parameters before setting up a design exploration or parameter sweep.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Madymo File | file_input | file | — | ✓ | Madymo XML input file (.xml) from which GROUP_DEFINE parameter blocks will be parsed; required — must be a valid Madymo deck containing at least one GROUP_DEFINE element. |
| Constants | constants | scalar | — | Comma-separated list of VAR_NAME values to treat as fixed constants and exclude from the output parameter set; leave blank to include all discovered parameters. | |
| Min Percentage | min_percentage | scalar | 0.8 | Lower-bound multiplier applied to each parameter’s nominal VALUE to compute its minimum range (e.g. default 0.8 = −20 %); leave as default unless a different lower bound is required. | |
| Max Percentage | max_percentage | scalar | 1.2 | Upper-bound multiplier applied to each parameter’s nominal VALUE to compute its maximum range (e.g. default 1.2 = +20 %); leave as default unless a different upper bound is required. | |
| Step Percentage | step_percentage | scalar | 0.1 | Fractional step size between min and max expressed as a proportion of the nominal VALUE (e.g. default 0.1 = 10 % increments); used when generating discrete sweep levels for each parameter. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parameters | parameters | dataset | Tabular dataset where each row represents one extracted GROUP_DEFINE parameter, containing at minimum the VAR_NAME, nominal VALUE, computed minimum, maximum, and step columns ready for downstream DOE or optimisation workers. |
