Constants Editor

Hazid Integrity stores engineering and mathematical constants which can be used to conduct calculations within the rules engine. The constants are currently unit free but inputing a united constant in the SI nomenclature will allow them to be used with united values.

The constants are stored as an editable XML file per Hazid Integrity Client installation and as such changes to the file must be distributed to other clients wishing to use the same file.

The Constants Editor displays all of the constants held within the XML

This allows you to Add or Edit Constants, Delete Constants or Load a constant XML from another user.
