Defining Variable Material Properties
When defining or modifying a material's properties, each material property value in the View/Edit Material window can be assigned a project variable by typing the project variable's name in the appropriate Value box. Project variables are used for material properties because materials are stored at the project level.
For example, define a project variable with the name MyPermittivity and define its value as 4. To assign this property value to a material, type $MyPermittivity in the Value box for the material. Be sure to include the prefix $ before the project variable name, which notifies Maxwell that the variable is a project variable.
Note: By default, not
all of the available properties are displayed in the materials table.
Only the properties commonly used by the product are displayed. To view
