Hi,

Is there anyway that I can define a spherical geometry with a Gaussian distribution of a Parameter inside it?

Best,
Haleh

Hi,

you cannot exactly do it with a parameter, but you can define a variable:



This would center the Gauss distribution var with width sigma at the origin. Define a variable like this in the entire model or in the spherical domain and you can use it wherever you need it in your model settings.

Cheers
Edgar
