Dependencies
The Dependencies window display information about dependencies for variables and user inputs for a number of nodes in the Physics Builder. For the selected node, these section display the declared and defined variables, variables it uses, user inputs it uses, and so on. To display the Dependencies window, right-click a node and choose Dependencies (). The Dependencies window then appears as a separate window next to the Settings window unless you close it. If not applicable, the Dependencies window is empty. Otherwise, it contains a group of sections that provide an overview of the items that you have declared for the feature. The contents of these sections are read-only, and the sections are initially empty. The following sections are available:
Variable Declarations. Lists all variable declarations found in the feature, excluding the ones declared through any component link. The table also provides information about the description, dimension, and physical quantity of the variables.
Variable Definitions. Lists all variable definitions found in the feature, excluding the ones defined in component links. The table also specifies if the definition is an expression, parameter, or shape definition, and also displays the actual definition.
Necessary Variables. Lists the variables found in expressions. This list corresponds to all the variables that must exist for this feature to work properly in all cases. Some of the variables can be declared by the feature itself, but others must be declared elsewhere.
Dependent Variable Definitions. Lists the dependent variables defined by this feature with their names and physical quantity. All these definitions must have a corresponding declaration under the physics interface.
Necessary Property User Inputs. Lists the user inputs read from properties found in this feature. These properties and user inputs must exist in any physics interface that uses this feature.
User Inputs. Lists the added user inputs in this feature with their array type, dimension, and description, excluding any user inputs added by any component links.
These sections provide useful information about the feature — for example, how you can use a feature in different physics interfaces.
