Process Overview

You must define a formula to the Materials database before you develop the recipe. You must select inputs and outputs for a recipe before they can be used in the procedure. After being defined, the inputs and outputs are available for assignment in phases that have input or output parameters defined. You can make value assignments for each material from the respective dialog box or locally at each phase.

The Process Variables dialog box shows all the process variable type parameters that are used in phases in the recipe procedure. You must edit phases with process variable parameters in the procedure editor before the phases can appear in the Process Variables dialog box. You can make value assignments for each process variable while you construct the recipe procedure or from the Process Variables dialog box after you construct the procedure.
