PROPERTY TABLES
The tables in eta/DYNAFORM allow the user to enter properties for materials, elements, draw beads, etc. The data fields contained in the table can be edited in several different ways. Single-clicking the mouse button inserts the cursor at a specific point in the data field; single clicking and dragging the cursor highlights a select portion of the field; double clicking highlights the entire field. Keystroke entry then inputs the new value. Altered values will be remembered by the table and will remain until reset. Most parameters have been organized into two groups: standard and advanced. Only the standard parameters are shown on screen (see figure below). At the bottom of the table the OK, ADVANCED, DEFAULT, RESET, and CANCEL buttons allow the user to accept or reject the data. The ADVANCED button is implemented in the following dialog boxes: MATERIAL, PROPERTY, CONTACT PARAMETERS, CONTROL PARAMETERS and ADAPTIVE PARAMETERS.
OK- Accepts the currently displayed values and exits the table.
ADVANCED - Activates advanced parameters. Once the advanced parameters are activated, ADVANCED becomes REGULAR.
DEFAULT - Sets all fields to their default values.
RESET - Resets the last altered field to its previous state.
CANCEL - Exits the table without entering any altered values.
