Design Variable Specification dialog box

Design Variable Info
Type	Specifies the type of the laminate design variable that you selected on the Laminate Modeler dialog box in the Design Variable Manager group. The possible types are:Ply AnglePly ThicknessPly Material
Name	Lets you enter the name for the design variable.
Design Variable Domain
Domain Type	Appears only for Ply Angle and Ply Thickness design variables.Controls the mathematical domain of the design variable.Select Discrete when you want to specify the design variable allowable discrete values.Select Continuous when you want to specify the upper and lower bounds of the allowable range for the design variable.
Value table	Appears only when you select Discrete in the Domain Type list.Shows all discrete values all ready added to the list.
Value field	Appears only when you select Discrete in the Domain Type list.Lets you enter the discrete value for the design variable.
Material table	Appears only when you select Ply Material design variable.Shows all discrete values all ready added to the list.
Material list	Appears only when you select Ply Material design variable.Lets you select the material for the design variable.
Add value / material to list	Appears only when you select Discrete in the Domain Type list or for Ply Material design variable.Adds the value that you enter in the value field to the Value list.
Remove value / material to list	Appears only when you select Discrete in the Domain Type list or for Ply Material design variable.Removes the selected value from the Value list.
Min field	Appears only when you select Continuous in the Domain Type list.Lets you enter the lower bound for the continuous range of the design variable.
Max field	Appears only when you select Continuous in the Domain Type list.Lets you enter the upper bound for the continuous range of the design variable.
