currently creating, I need to read in the parameter 2 (overall conductance U*A)
by an external file even though they remain to be constant. I set the parameter
2 to string and defined a new variable by equation to read in the value from
the external file. But in this case the results are not the same as in the case
of setting the value of U*A directly in type 12c. I also compared the result of
the equation with the value supposed to be the right one. Could that be a
problem of first time step manipulations?</span></font></p>
