Pipeline Parameters
Every pipeline has a set of associated parameters, in addition to the parameters in the referenced line stock, that apply to that individual pipeline. You may write the pipeline parameters to a file and may include system parameters (such as the name of the line parameter file and fluid or gas type), as well as user-defined parameters.
The values for the pipeline parameters that you write to the file automatically define the parameter types such as string, integer, or double. This is valid for the pipeline, line stock, and insulation parameters.
