Additional magnitude options
You can define the magnitude in several ways:Type a constant value directly in the box.Type an expression directly in the box. As you begin to type the expression, tooltips provide hints about valid parameter names. If you type an invalid or incomplete expression, the warning icon appears next to the box.Click and select from the options listed below.The available options vary, depending on the solver and other factors.
Expression	Opens the Expressions dialog box, where you can select an existing expression or create a new one.For more information about expressions, see Expressions.
Select Existing Field	Opens the Fields dialog box, where you can select a field.A field can define a magnitude that varies with independent variables such as frequency, temperature, or time. For more information about fields, see Fields.
New Field→Formula	Opens the Formula Field dialog box, where you can define a formula to construct a field.For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a formula field.
New Field→Table	Opens the Table Field dialog box, where you can define tabular data to construct a field.For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a table field and Define a material property using a table field.
New Field→Link	Opens the Linked Field dialog box, where you can construct a linked field from an existing spatial field.For more information, see Linked Field dialog box.
Plot(XY)	Plots the field as an XY graph.For more information, see Plot overview.
Plot(XYZ)	Plots the field as an XYZ graph.For more information, see Plot overview.
Overlay(XY)	Overlays a plot on an existing plot. You can overlay up to 50 plots.For more information, see Overlay plots.
Scale Factor	Appears for certain material properties after you define the temperature-dependence of the material property with a field.Opens the Field Scale Factor dialog box, where you can define a scale factor that the software applies to the field lookup. Thus, the value that the software uses for the material property at a given temperature is the product of the scale factor and the field lookup for that temperature.
