Chris,

Look at the example Modelica->Utilities>Examples->readRealParameterModel. It reads a text file for a list of parameters. Here is the example file that it reads:

// Motor data

J        = 2.3     // inertia
w_rel0   = 1.5*2;  // relative angular velocity
phi_rel0 = pi/3;

You could save the excel file as text and read it as in the example. This is a very human readable format so its not a bad option for a large amount of data. (There is also a matrix reading example but it appears to crash -- I'll report it to WSM but the underlying functions may work.)

Alternatively, you can write a simple C external function that reads a parameter file or a matrix of data and call it.

These are the two ways I am aware of -- maybe the WSM people have another suggestion.

Regards,

Neil

Neil,

yes that is correct I was referring to ExternData.
