Setting a Default Value

[Bachelor22 4]

Hey guys,

 

I'm writing a script, where I can set a value (e.g. for the Young's Modulus) for a material property.

My problem is that I would like to have  a default value in the window, like 210000 MPa, which I can take and proceed or change it if it doesn't suit my material. Is it somehow possible to set such a default value?

 

Kind regards and thanks in advance

Simon

 

Attached you can find the part of my script and a screenshot of the window I'm talking about:

*startnotehistorystate {Modified E of material}
set youngs_modulus [hm_getfloat "Youngs Modulus (Steel)=" "Enter Youngs Modulus:"]
*setvalue mats id=1 STATUS=1 1= $youngs_modulus
*endnotehistorystate {Modified E of material}

Hi @Bachelor22

 

add default value after the string

set youngs_modulus [hm_getfloat "Youngs Modulus (Steel)=" "Enter Youngs Modulus:" 210000]
