DEFINE_ELEMENTS

This command is for the DATABASE_RETRIEVAL (TDB) module.

Define the system in terms of elements. All possible species that can be formed by the given elements are retrieved from the database. The names of elements must be separated with a space or comma. It is possible to use a wildcard * after a common part of element names so that all the elements, which start with that common part and are available in the currently switched or appending database, are defined in the system. Up to 40 elements can be defined into a single system.

Also see Defining a System in Console Mode for step-by-step instructions to define a system with this command.
