Each parameter in these files includes detailed information such as:
* Value Type: Specifies the type of input required (e.g., integer, string, etc.).
* Value: The value of the parameter
* Type: Specifies the type of input required (e.g., integer, string, etc.).

Once the parameters are set, the simulation can start.
The program is split in several blocks :
- Load inputs: load contents of the input parameter files
- Pre-processing: instantiate the simulation configuration, compute light interception by elements of the scene
- Processing: compute PV and crop production
Note: when running the simulation, depending on your development environment, you may have to close the opened figures to proceed through the script.
