Change Elastic Parameters

 

You can see the current Elastic Parameters like E-Modulus, Poisson's ratio and Thickness of the Substrate or of possible Layers within the Parameter and Single Results Window written in green letters ("Elastic parameter") after opening the program.

If you wish to change one or more of these settings you have two possibilities to call up the "Elastic Properties" window which is responsible for it:

  1. Move the mouse to the "Parameter" button on the menu rail and open the scroll by clicking the left mouse button once
  2. Four options are given. Choose the first square "Elastic Constants" by clicking the left mouse button once

    The new window "Elastic Properties" appears on the bottom left of the Main Window

Now you can change the elastic parameters as you need them by clicking into the changeable squares and replace the numerical value.

By clicking the list button on the right hand side a list with a selection of materials with their belonging parameters opens. Here you are able to choose the material for the indenter, substrate and layers.
