You can define an equation in your simulation studio:<br>
<br>
Cp = 4.19<br>
<br>
Then change the "units" of all your specific heat parameters from
"kJ/kg.K" to "string" and enter the variable name (Cp) in place of a
numerical value.<br>
Best,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on simulating a system that is
composed of multiple user created components. Is there a way
to define a parameter in one single place that will update the
parameter in multiple components. For example I would like to
define the specific heat of a fluid in one place, and have
three different components automatically use this value as one
of their own parameters. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
