New Group of Parameters or Different Access

It might be useful to have a third group of parameters, in addition to the two that are already implemented (optimisation and "environment" parameters).
Something like an optimisation parameter that gives its value back, before being written into the simulation input file. Thus, one could perform some computation with it.

Consider the following example: The position of a VENT might be of interest in a FDS simulation. It would be good if this position could be adressed by a pivot point. This point would be generated by an optimisation algorithm. And another function could use this pivot point to calculate the geometrical coordinates of the VENT. Afterwards the values get changed in the template. This process could also work with different things like OBST or rows of devices.

Maybe, it is not necessary to actually have a different parameter group, but it might be possible get access to the values before they are written to the simulation input file.
