Run Variable is a variable used within a run set for specifying parameter values and/or setting up for-loops over parameters. One application would be to define quantities to be used in multiple setting expressions; another would be to store expensive-to-compute results which can be reused in multiple simulation runs. There is one special type of run variable, called a loop variable, used for setting up for-loops over parameters.
This particular runset has warnings and errors. Click the red dot or yellow dot to see the message.

Loop variable is a special type of run variable, used to define a set of nested for-loops within a run set, while the actual simulation runs would take place inside the innermost loop. To add a for-loop in the Run Set Edit window, one simply adds a new run variable, say iloop, and sets its type to int and its value to $loop(3). The simulation in the following example will execute three runs. In each run the constant_force will be set to force[0], force[1] and force[2] respectively.
