How to find keyword "NFACTOR" in MFIX-GUI?

I want to pack particles in a cylindrical column before simulation. In the source code, “NFACTOR” is a very useful keyword to set the initial random particles. However, I did not find this keyword in the GUI version. Is it same with the keyword “Mas inlet start time”?

Hi Wang Shuai

NFACTOR is not connected to any control, but you can set it using the “Advanced” pane, which lets you set any keys that are not associated with controls.

To find the control associated with a keyword by name, you can click on the “Search for MFIX Keywords” icon
search
at the top of the window, and enter any keyword. If the keyword is associated with a control, that control will be highlighted, otherwise you will be taken to the “Advanced” pane.

In the other direction - if you hover over a control, or right-click and select “Help”, it will tell you what MFiX keyword is associated with that control. If you do this you will find that “Mass inlet start time” corresponds with the keyword BC_MI_START_TIME

Thank you very much. I will try it.
