SHOW_VALUE

This command is available for the POLY and ED-EXP modules.

Show the current value of any state variable, function or variable.

Syntax

show_value

Prompt

State variable or symbol: <Name(s) of state variable(s) or symbol(s)>

A single or several state variables or symbols (entered functions or variables) can be specified.

 

The wildcard * can be used to denote all phases or all components.

You can use the dollar-sign $ to denote all stable phases. Thus, the command SHOW W(*,*)lists the mass fraction of all phases, whereas SHOW W($,*)lists the mass fraction of all stable phases.

If you SHOW a function, all functions are evaluated using the current values of the state variables. But if you SHOW a variable, it retains its value from the time it was ENTERED or last EVALUATED.

Therefore to save a value from one calculation to another, ENTER it to a variable. This is frequently done in the PARROT module to transfer values between equilibria.
