EXOSIMS Prototype Inputs

EXOSIMS contains a large number of user-settable parameters (either via the input JSON script or passed directly to the constructors of various modules at instantiation). All inputs have associated defaults that are automatically filled in if not set by the user.

The table below includes a list of all Prototype module inputs.
