| Dialog element | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Thickness moment of interaction coefficient (Dz) | Specifies the thickness moment of interaction coefficient (Dz) value that will be used in the calculation of fiber interactions. |
| Coefficient of interaction (Ci) | The fiber interaction coefficient (Ci) is an empirical constant that characterizes the effect of fiber-fiber interaction in concentrated suspensions. |
