4. From the Quantity list, select the quantity or the geometry.
5. From the Function list, select a ready-made function (this option is the same as inserting the function from the Function section).
6. If applicable, from the Domain list, select the solution domain.
7. Click Insert Into Expression.

The selected quantity is entered into the Expression area of the Output Variables section.

4. To insert a function:
1. In the Function section, select a ready-made function from the drop-down menu.
2. Click Insert Function into Expression.

The function appears in the Expression area of the Output Variables section.
