Commands

Commands to manipulate Property Objects

There are multiple commands that are common for most properties when defining Domain Properties, Boundary Conditions, and Initial Conditions on Geometric Objects. These commands are listed in the Commands part of the Edit Bar and are listed in the following Table.

Command	Description
New Property* Insert Property	Creates a new Property Object. For some Properties, there is a list of available options and user needs to select from this list (e.g., water flow boundary conditions) or can extend this list (e.g., Materials). For others, user needs to define values (e.g., scaling factors) or functional forms (e.g., initial conditions) of new Property Objects.
Edit Property	Recalls a dialog window with parameters of a particular Property to edit.
Set Property	Selects one particular Property from a list or Property Objects and assigns it to a selected Geo Object(s).
Sort Property	Calls a dialog window "Sort Property Objects", which displays all available Property Objects. Here, (the sequence of) the Property Objects can be arbitrarily rearranged.
Renumber Property	Renumbers Properties in a list or Property Objects.
Clear Property	Clears a particular Property from selected Geometric Points. This command is used only for Properties that do not have a default Property (e.g., Nodal Recharge, Observation Nodes).
Clear All Properties	Clears all assigned Properties from Geometric Objects and assigns default properties where required (e.g., Materials) to the entire transport domain. Note that this command does not delete definitions of Properties (as done by the Delete All Properties command), which thus remain available in the data tree of the Navigator Bar.
Delete Property	Deletes a Property Object selected in the data tree of the Navigator Bar. This command is not used for Materials or Subregions, the number of which is specified elsewhere.
Delete All Properties	Deletes all Property Objects defined for a particular Property, except for a default Property (which is defined for those Properties where a default Property is needed). Similarly as for the Delete Property commands, this command does not exist for Materials and Subregions.
Transfer Property to FE-Mesh	Transfers information about a particular Property defined on Geo Objects to the FE-Mesh. Note that this command is available only when information about a particular Property on Geo Objects and FE-Mesh does not correspond. This can occur, for example, when Property is defined (or refined) on FE-Mesh.
Transfer all Properties to FE-Mesh	Transfers information about all Properties defined on Geo Objects to the FE-Mesh.
Different Values on FE-mesh	A warning informing that different property values are specified on Geo Objects and FE-Mesh.

*Note that the word Property is used in place of a particular Property Object, such as Domain Property (e.g., Material, Observation Node), Boundary Condition, or Initial Condition.
