I had the same issue where pmass could not be chosen in certain cases.
I had to choose pvol and then multiply by constant density.

We are looking into it. In the meantime, any keyword can be manually set in the Advanced pane.

Dear Jeff,

Could you elaborate on this part, how do we set pmass in the advanced pane?

Say you want to manually set monitor_pmass(1) i.e. set monitor_pmass for monitor 1.

  1. In the “Advanced” pane, click on the “+” sign on top of the keyword table. This will bring up a keyword browser popup window.
  2. In this keyword browser window, enter “monitor_pmass” in the search bar and check the “Include GUI keywords”. This should add “monitor_pmass” to the list of keywords on the left.
  3. Select “monitor_pmass” on the left. Enter “1” for the monitor and press Enter. Click on the lock icon next to the greyed “Update” button, and press OK when prompted to unlock the key. This is a warning to make sure users understand they are about to overwrite a keyword.
  4. Set the value to true or false (check/uncheck box next to value).
  5. Click on “Update key”, you should see the keyword being set in the console. Press “Close”.
