Enter a data-value directly:

1.Enter the data-value with your keyboard

2.Press the Enter key on your keyboard to update to the new value

You must press the Enter key (also called the Return key) to update the value.

Enter a symbolic equation:

1.Enter the data-value with your keyboard

2.Press the Enter key on your keyboard to update to the new value

You must press the Enter key (also called the Return key) to update the value.

Symbolic parameters:

•Simple Arithmetic: +, –, *, /;

•Indices: ^, Sqrt();

•Trigonometric (Angles are Radians), pi, Sin(), Cos(), Tan(), Sinh, Cosh, Tansh, ArcSin(), ArcCos(), ArcTan2( ; )

Spin-Box arrow buttons (in the blue-box)

Top : Left arrowhead to decrease the data-value by the Spin-Increment

Top : Right arrowhead to increase the data-value by the Spin-Increment

Bottom : Left arrowhead to divide the Spin-Increment by 10

Bottom : Left arrowhead to multiply the Spin-Increment by 10

Edit the Data Value

•Click the Top : Left arrowhead to decrease the data-value. (Data-value after one click: 67.12345 – Spin-Increment(1) = 66.12345 )

•Click the Top : Right arrowhead to increase the data-value (Data-value after one click: 67.12345 + Spin-Increment(1) = 68.12345 )

Edit the Spin-Increment

•Click the Bottom : Left arrowhead to decrease the spin-increment (Data-value after one click: 1 ÷ 10 = 0.1 )

•Click the Bottom : Right arrowhead to increase the spin-increment (Data-value after one click: 1 × 10 = 10 )

WARNING: The model re-builds each time you click the top arrow-buttons of the Spin-Box tool

'Zero' or 'Round' data

1.Right-click inside the data box

The 'Zero / Round/Copy/Paste' contextual-menu shows.

•Zero: value becomes = 0.01 (generally do not use 'Zero' when the dimension is a 'Length' or 'Radius').

•Round: value becomes nearest value that is exactly divisible by the Spin-Increment.
