List of variable values to evaluate in a list parameter study


.. toctree::
   :hidden:
   :maxdepth: 1



**Specification**

- *Alias:* None

- *Arguments:* REALLIST


**Description**


The ``list_of_points`` keyword allows the user to specify, in a
freeform format, a list of variable values at which to compute a model
response.

*Default Behavior*

The user is required to provide a list of points for a list parameter
study either by specifying it with ``list_of_points`` or by providing a
file from which such a list can be read via ``import_points_file``.
There is no default list of points.

*Usage Tips*

The number of values in the list must be an integer multiple of the
number of variables. Dakota will verify that this condition is met.
