Term information

comment

There is a clear difference between variables and parameters. A variable represents a model state, and may change during simulation. A parameter is commonly used to describe objects statically. A parameter is normally a constant in a single simulation, and is changed only when you need to adjust your model behavior. source: http://www.xjtek.com/anylogic/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.xj.anylogic.help/html/data/Parameters%20and%20Variables.html

definition

Any value passed to a program by the user or by another program in order to customize the program for a particular purpose. A parameter may be anything; for example, a file name, a coordinate, a range of values, a money amount or a code of some kind. Parameters may be required as in parameter-driven software (see below) or they may be optional. Parameters are often entered as a series of values following the program name when the program is loaded. source: http://computer.yourdictionary.com/parameter
