Creating and Editing a System Constant
To specify a system constant, proceed as follows.
-
In the Parameters pane, go to the "System Constants" tab.
If there is no system constant, or if no system constant is selected, only the
"System Constants" table with a single line is visible.
-
In the "Name" column of the "System Constants" table, click on the word New.
-
Enter a name for the system constant and press <Return>.
The system constant is created. The "Default Values for <system constant>" table
appears.
-
In the "Default Values for <system constant>" table, do the following:
-
In the "Parameter" row, click on the words Add Parameter to open the parameters list.
-
Select a parameter.
-
In the "Default Value" column, enter the value you want to assign to the parameter.
You have to enter a scalar value for all types of parameters. For non-scalar parameters, the same value is returned for each point.
-
If desired, add further parameters to the system constant.
-
-
If desired, add and specify further system constants.
You can return to the "System constants" tab and edit existing constants at any time.
