Hi all,

in order to define the characteristics of a non-transparent material I would like to be able to define the scatter parameters of the material as a variable in the Volume Physics (see image) tab and apply a merit function using characteristics known and tested in the laboratory.
Is this possible?

Thanks to all

Hi Luca,

 

I believe this is possible through the Multi-Configuration Editor using the operands NPRO with the property numbers 481 (mean free path) and 482 (angle). In the Merit Function Editor, you can view and weight the Multi-Configuration operands with MCOV (Multi-Configuration Operand Value), MCOL (Multi-Configuration Operand Lesser than), or MCOG (Multi-Configuration Operand Greater than). I’m showing a dummy example below with MCOV:

Please refer to this article for more details about this trick.

Let me know if this helps, and take care,

 

David

Thank you very much for the very quick reply. Looking in the help I found this possibility too.
