Model Editor

Model Editor

Purpose

param_ui.py provides a custom desktop interface to inspect and edit simulation parameters in model.py without manually searching through the source file. It is designed to speed up model iteration and reduce editing errors during parameter tuning.

What it does

• Loads model.py and indexes key configuration variables.
• Exposes grouped controls for frequently tuned parameters (time stepping, boundaries, feature toggles, etc.).
• Preserves comments and formatting while patching variable assignments.
• Provides a code editor view with syntax highlighting for quick navigation.
• Supports launching model runs from the same interface to shorten edit-run cycles.

Why use it

• Faster navigation across large configuration sections.
• Reduced risk of syntax mistakes in manual edits.
• Better reproducibility when adjusting many parameters across experiments.
