# zone property-distribution command

Syntax

zone property-distribution <density f > keyword ... <range>

Primary keywords:

Modify a zone constitutive model property. The property should accept a value of type float. While technically any valid type can be used here, none of the distribution keywords will apply and the zone property command should probably be used instead.

The phrase that modifies the value must be given immediately following the property value. For more information on modifying values and the operation of these keywords, see the Value Modifiers topic.

The special density keyword can be given as well, assigning density to zones; this is not a constitutive model property but stored within the zone class.

deviation-gaussian f

A Gaussian distribution is used to assign the property values randomly, with a mean of fvalue and standard deviation of f .

deviation-uniform f

A uniform distribution is used to assign the property values randomly, with a mean value of fvalue and a standard deviation of f.

Apply a gradient to the property value.
