Is your request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when defining a parameter it is expressed without unit, which can be bothering some times.
Take for example the case where you use a parameter for a duration in hours in your model, you could define something like this:
model param
global {
float my_duration <- 1#h;
}
experiment a {
parameter "Nb hours" var:my_duration min:1#h max:10#h step:1#h;
}
The problem is that in the user interface, this is expressed in seconds as the #h is used, but from the user's point of view it should be hours.
Describe the improvement you'd like
It would be nice to have a way to add the unit in which we want the parameter to be displayed in.
Additional context
There's already a facet called unit to add a text, but this doesn't make any conversion into that unit, it is more of a comment. Anyway, to my knowledge, nobody uses it and it is not even displayed by default
