Define a formula field with complex dependent variables

When you create a formula field using the Formula Field dialog box, if the dependent domain represents a scalar or vector quantity, you can define dependent variables as complex.

1. On the Independent Domain page, from the Independent list, select the independent domain.

2. On the Dependent Domain page, from the Dependent list, select a dependent domain that represents a scalar quantity like pressure or a vector quantity like force.On the Definition page, in the expressions table, a row appears for each dependent variable.For example, suppose you select Pressure for the dependent domain, a row appears with pressure in the Dependent Variable column.

3. In the Value Type column, right-click Real and choose Complex.If you want to specify a dependent variable as complex, you must do so prior to entering the expression for the dependent variable.

4. In the expressions box, enter an expression that defines the relationship between the independent and dependent domains. Click Accept Edit when you finish entering the expression.
