%The parameters that are used in Neurocal are

%.name			%  	internal use.
%.varnum        %  	internal use.
%.nseg			% 	number of segments for the variable.
%.dia       	%	um	- the outer diameter of the variable.
%.da_D  		%		- axon/Fiber diameter ratio for calculating the axonal resistance 
                %       for myelinated axon. if this value is empty(default), 
%                       .dia will be used instead.
%.dn_D      	%	    - node/Fiber diameter ratio for node of Ranvior for calculating the membrane resistance
                %       and membrane capacitance for myelinated axon. If this value is empty(default), 
                %       .dia will be used instead.
%.Lmode         %   1=fix, 2 = L/D x D x nseg
%.Linter_D      %       - Internodal distance / Diameter                
%.L  		    %	um	- the total length of the variable.
%.lnodal      	%	um	- lengh of node of Ranvior for calculating the membrane resistance
                %       and membrane capacitance for myelinated axon. If this value is empty(default), 
                %       L/nseg will be used instead.
%.cm	       	%	uf/cm2 - for calculating membrane capacitance
%.ra           	%	ohm-cm - for calculating axonal resistance
%.rm           	%	kohm-cm2 - for calculating membrane resistance.
%.vini	    	%	mV
%.vestim		%	mV  -extracellular stimulator
%.xyz			%	um
%.xyzvector		%	um
