Material parameters - overrides

 

Set how each material parameter operates

 

If a set of material parameters are in use for a run the values of each material parameter override the equivalent values in the optimising and saw parameter lists.

 

The Overrides option is used to say whether this override action is allowed or not for each parameter. This is important because the number of parameters that change for a material is typically quite limited.

 

At the Material parameter screen (any tab):-

 

 Select: [ Overrides ] button

 

Program displays a list of override actions for the parameters on the current tab:-

 

 

- Check box to allow override (Uncheck to NOT allow override)

 

Overrides allow more flexibility in the use of material parameters and can help to avoid unexpected results. For example, if some material parameters are never used (as material parameters) - uncheck these - and this ensures they have no effect even if they contain values or are accidentally changed.
