PASA Attributes Reference¶
This page documents the PLEXOS PASA class attributes and their default values, validation rules, and descriptions.
To look at the open access PLEXOS documentation, go to PLEXOS PASA Index.
Use this reference when setting configuration values through PlexosDB
attributes, for example with add_attribute, get_attribute, and
list_attributes.
