Parameters are defined using prefixed codes MDE (integer) and MDR (real).

metafor.setIntegerData(param,value)
metafor.setRealData(param,value)

All integer parameters used in Metafor are listed here. These parameters are remains of the old Fortran version of Metafor.

Name	Default	Description	New Commands (Metafor Version > 2422)
MDE_NDYN	0	Type of mechanical integration
		= 0 : quasi-static	cf. Quasi-static time integration scheme
		= 1 : explicit - central differences	cf. Explicit time integration scheme
		= 2 : Chung Hulbert implicit (or α-generalized)	cf. Implicit time integration scheme
		= 3 : Chung Hulbert explicit	cf. Explicit time integration scheme
		= 4 : Generalized midpoint rule (SMG)	cf. Implicit time integration scheme
		= 5 : consistent (conservative if no dissipation)	cf. Implicit time integration scheme
MDE_SHIM	2	Implicit method used for implicit/explicit (see MDE_NDYN)	cf. Implicit/Explicit time integration scheme
MDE_SHEX	3	Explicit method used for implicit/explicit (see MDE_NDYN)	cf. Implicit/Explicit time integration scheme
MDE_IQSI	0	Initial equilibrium of centrifugal forces, before replacing them by the real structural rotation. (cf. volume elements)	cf. Initial rotative balancing phase
		= 0 : no initial calculation
		= 1 : calculation only if MDE_NDYN=2
		= 2 : initial calculation with centrifugal forces, but without transfer of speeds and accelerations to the real model nor reset of centrifugal forces (the dynamic model remains in a rotating frame). Obviously, MDE_NDYN=2
MDE_ICPU	0	Parameter for method depending on machine CPU (automatic automatic shift implicit/explicit criterion and tangent stiffness matrix update criterion)	Cf. Iteration manager and Implicit/Explicit time integration scheme
		= False : no dependency (for example the battery)
		= True : dependency
MDE_NDYT	0	Type of integration	cf. Thermomechanical staggered time integration and Thermomechanical coupled time integration
		= 0 : mechanical
		= 1 : thermomechanical coupled
		= 2 : thermomechanical staged isothermal without reevaluation of stresses at the end of a step
		= 3 : thermomechanical staged adiabatic without reevaluation of stresses at the end of a step
		= 4 : thermomechanical staged isothermal with reevaluation of stresses at the end of a step
		= 5 : thermomechanical staged adiabatic with reevaluation of stresses at the end of a step
MDE_THTY	1	Type of thermal integration	cf. Thermomechanical staggered time integration and Thermomechanical coupled time integration
		= 0 : generalized midpoint rule (as a function of MDR_THET)
		= 1 : generalized trapezoid rule (as a function of MDR_THET)

All real parameters used in Metafor are listed here. These parameters are remains of the old Fortran version of Metafor. Ideally, each option should be included in a class.
