Constants Blocks¶
These allow the user to set constant scalar values that can then be used to drive other Analysis blocks within a PET.
Adding Constants Blocks to a PET¶
To add a Constants Block to a PET, simply drag the Constants block icon from the Part Browser and onto the PET canvas.

Populating Constants Blocks with Metrics¶
Constants Blocks within a PET can contain Metrics that hold scalar values.
To add a Metric to a Constants Block, double-click on the Constants Block to open it, then drag the Metric icon from the Parts Browser into the Constants Block canvas. The Metric can be renamed and its value can be set via .

Multiple Metrics can be added to the same Constants Block. Each one will display as a separate port on the Constants Block model.
