12d Model

Hi All,

Long time browser, first time poster! I was wondering if there is a complete list of ALL parmeters that exist for all PPF settings:
Cross section ppf
Long section ppf
Drainage ppf

What I would like to do is macro develop the ppf instead of the usual interface to help new users in the setup.

Thanks in advance!

Alex

Hi Alex,
Nice to catch up with you last week at the Tech Forum.
I had a quick look at the end of last week at a possible way to generate all the parameters.

I believe most of the PPF options there is text file copy of your PPF file generated within the working directory at the time of plotting.
If you have a look at this Text file you can see there is listed the parameters and values used for the production of the plot.

Just opening the Long plot ppf, there are some 903 for the file I've used to test and given you might have additional Cut models/strings etc this could easily increase.

I would use this generated text file as a starting point, but it really is a starting point.

We (EXDS) do show users how to use the Chain parameters to set some of the most common PPF parameters in training.
Please give me a call on Support if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Rod

We don't keep such lists ...

But you can make your own lists by filling in each PPF type as much as is necessary and pressing Write with each PPF Editor. This saves the PPFs as both binary and and ascii versions. The ascii versions have a *.ppf file extension. The names of the plot parameters can be seen in the ascii versions, using a text editor.

For the development of macros to make simpler interfaces than the PPF Editors, I certainly wouldn't consider the full list of plot parameters.

Our programmers regularly add new new plot parameters too, so your macros should definitely take a PPF as input, and then provide whatever simplified interface you want, to modify whatever subset of plot parameters you choose.
