Table of Fields dialog box

The Table of Fields dialog box consists of a series of step-by-step pages that lead you through the process of approximating a function that has an independent domain that consists of two or more variables. It is ideally suited for representing functions that have two or more dissimilar independent variables, such as representing stress as a function of strain and temperatures.

Some of the following pages are contingent on the dependent and independent domain and the options you select.

Name page

Name
Name	Specifies a name for the table of fields.
Label	Specifies a unique numeric identifier for the table of fields.
Description	Specifies a description (optional) for the table of fields.

Dependent Domain page

Dependent Domain

Dependent

Selects the dependent domain to use for the table of fields.Two lists are provided. The first list is the domain type list. The second is the domain list. The selection in the domain type list dictates which domains are included in the domain list. The options for the domain type list are as follows:Most UsedIncludes the most frequently used domains in the domain list.Filter By NameEnables auto-complete in the domain list.1-DIncludes only one-variable domains in the domain list.For example, if you select Frequency from the domain list, the software creates a domain with frequency as the variable.2-DIncludes only two-variable domains in the domain list.For example, if you select Frequency from the domain list, the software creates a domain with two frequencies as the variables. If you select XY Plane from the domain list, the software creates a domain with the x- and y-coordinates as the variables3-DIncludes only three-variable domains in the domain list.For example, if you select Frequency from the domain list, the software creates a domain with three frequencies as the variables. If you select Cartesian from the domain list, the software creates a domain with the x-, y-, and z-coordinates as the variablesN-DIncludes only Balanced Strain, Strain Tensor, and Stress Tensor in the domain list.Multi-domainIncludes domains that are combinations of two 1-D domains like Frequency, Parameter, or one 1-D domain and one 2-D domain like Frequency, Parameter Plane, or one 1-D domain and one 3-D domain like Frequency, Parameter Space in the domain list.Application SpecificIncludes only highly specialized domains in the domain list.

Independent Domain page

Independent Domain

Independent

Selects the independent domain to use for the table of fields.Two lists are provided. The first list is the domain type list. The second is the domain list. The selection in the domain type list dictates which domains are included in the domain list. The options for the domain type list are as follows:Most UsedIncludes the most frequently used domains in the domain list.Filter By NameEnables auto-complete in the domain list.Multi-domainIncludes domains that are combinations of two 1-D domains like Frequency, Parameter, or one 1-D domain and one 2-D domain like Frequency, Parameter Plane, or one 1-D domain and one 3-D domain like Frequency, Parameter Space in the domain list.

Definition page

Definition
Data point box (independent domain column)	Enter the value for the independent variable that is held constant in the field that is referenced in the corresponding data point box in the dependent domain column.
Data point box (Field column)	Right-click the data point box in the Field column and choose from one of the following options.Select Field references an existing field. Choosing this option opens the Fields dialog box.Note: You can also double-click in the Field column to open the Fields dialog box.Create Formula creates and references a new formula field. Choosing this option opens the Formula Field dialog box.Create Table creates and references a new table field. Choosing this option opens the Table Field dialog box.Delete deletes the field in the data point box from the table of fields.
Values outside domain	Determines how the value for the table of fields is assigned when the independent variable that is held constant in each of the fields that comprise the table of fields is outside the range of the constant independent variable for each of those fields.Undefined specifies that values are not assigned.Extrapolate specifies that values are extrapolated from values of the two nearest bounding fields.Constant specifies that values match that of the nearest bounding field.

Application Data page

Application Data
Appears when the independent domain includes frequency.
Available applications table	Lists the application attribute for the table of fields.To create an application attribute, right-click a cell and choose Add Signal Attributes.To edit an application attribute, right-click the cell and choose Edit.To delete an application attribute, right-click the cell and choose Delete.
