+
+A value-dependent compile-time optimization. Replace parameters in the model that have a default value contained in `c` with their value.
+
+Many parameters in multibody models have a sparse structure, e.g., rotation axes like `[1, 0, 0]`, or diagonal mass matrices etc. Specializing the generated code to this structure may increase performance, sometimes up to 2x. This function replaces all parameters that have a value contained in `c`, which defaults to `[0, 1]`, with their value.
+
+This performance optimization is primarily beneficial when the runtime of the simulation exceeds the compilation time of the model. For non-multibody models, sparse parameter structure is less common and this optimization is this not likely to be beneficial.
+
+# Drawbacks
+There are two main drawbacks to performing this optimization
+- Parameters that have been replaced **cannot be changed** after the optimization has been performed, without recompiling the model using `structural_simplify`.
+- The value of the repalced parameters are no longer accessible in the solution object. This typically means that **3D animations cannot be rendered** for models with replaced parameters.
+
+# Example usage
+```
+@named robot = Robot6DOF()
+robot = complete(robot)
+ssys = structural_simplify(IRSystem(robot))
+ssys = Multibody.subs_constants(model, [0, 1]; ssys)
+```
+
+If this optimization is to be performed repeatedly for several simulations of the same model, the indices of the substituted parameters can be stored and reused, call the lower-level function `Multibody.find_defaults_with_val` with the same signature as this function to obtain these indices, and then call `JuliaSimCompiler.freeze_parameters(ssys, inds)` with the indices to freeze the parameters.
