Best way to get all parameters in a 2015 easy5 model?

Question

Is there a​n easy way to get the parameters in a model; volumes, lengths, ect. for all elements in a format that can be reviewed by a human? I am attempting to use python to pull out all the relevant info from the .ezmf. Wondering if there was already a tool for this. I know 2018 uses Python, but I am stuck with 2015 at the moment.

If you are looking at getting output from the model of all the parameters in the model, you only option is to do a document model. (EASY5 main menu > File > Document Model > then choose your format: HTML or text) This will output your model in a readable format but it will still require manipulation on your end to get all the inputs in one list. Unfortunately we don't have a better option there.

If you are looking to get values into your model, your best option would be to do an External Model Update. This feature was introduced in 2010 and lets you update model parameter and state values from an external CSV file. This operation is done via the EASY5 command line. The attached PowerPoint gives more information on this topic.
