json simulation parameter for executable

[christianurich]

Hi @abroxos @csaf4370

Currently setting simulation parameter works with the --replacement thingy. However, this can be quite painful to use when editing more parameter.

I would suggest to add a new --simulation_parameter option that based on a json string or file sets simulation parameter

The json file would look something like this.

This would also help to simplify the storing of simulation parameter in the simulation database

Would do you think?

{"module_name": 
      {"parameter": 
             {"width": 125, 
              "length": 250}
       }, 
"streetblock": 
      {"parameter": 
             {"width": 125, 
              "length": 250}
       "filter": {...
                   }
       }, 
  "parcel": 
       {"parameter":
             {"width": 15}
}}

Please check --parameter. Is that enough ?

I overlocked that feature, it was not in the docu (could someone please update it)

That might work, I'll check.

can be done with as suggested. Still need to add a parameter for filters later though
