Hide in GUI
For each dependent variable added by a physics interface a few GUI components are added automatically. These GUI components let the user control properties of the dependent variable such as the name and element order. In some situations you might not want to display all these GUI components.
To restrict the visibility, right-click a Dependent Variable Declaration () node and choose Hide In GUI (). Only one such subnode per Dependent Variable Declaration node is allowed. You can also right-click an ODE States Collection node to add a Hide in GUI subnode.
The Settings window has the following sections:
Settings
By default, the check boxes in this section, except the first one, are selected:
•
Select the Skip declaration and definition check box to skip the declaration of the dependent variable. It will then not be defined, and all its properties will be hidden. By default, the dependent variable is declared and defined.
•
When the Hide in initial values feature check box is selected, the text field for setting the initial value of the dependent variable is hidden from the automatically generated initial values feature.
•
The Hide in discretization section check box controls if the settings for choosing element order and value type of the dependent variable are hidden from the discretization property of the physics interface.
•
The Hide in dependent variables section check box controls if the settings for setting the name of the dependent variable are hidden from the Dependent variables property of the physics interface.
•
The Hide in Model Wizard check box controls if the settings for specifying the name of the dependent variable are hidden from the Model Wizard.
For a Hide in GUI subnode under an ODE States Collection node, only the three last check boxes above are available.
Condition
Add a condition on when the GUI components are hidden as specified in the Settings section. This condition only has effect if you select the Condition for hiding check box. If it is left in its default state of being not selected the GUI components as specified in the Settings section are always hidden. The settings for the condition work in the same way as the settings under the User input check box in the Usage Condition node for components.
