#2876 new enhancement

Write parameters in the csv file (or maybe in another file with only parameters)

Reported by: adrpo Owned by: somebody

Description

Currently is not possible to write parameters to anything but the .mat files.

People want to have the parameters also in .cvs format.

If we add them then that particular column in the .csv will be the
same value over and over. Maybe is a good idea to add them in another
file _parameters.csv and only once.

No; we don't support adding special second files since then we don't actually put the file where the user selected.
What you could do is have the file be:

var1...varnparam1...paramn
val1...valnvparam1...vparamn
val1...valn

But note that this breaks some csv parsing tools since the file is no longer square

Or you could generate a square file and basically fill in the same value for the parameter columns.
We could have this on a flag, say --emit_parameters.

No, you don't want to fill parameters in every time step. It's silly to do so since they never change. The file just becomes huge for no reason.
