Material Library Dialog Box: Packaging Section
Each material can have multiple packaging, but all packaging uses the same basic material properties. The Packaging tab contains details about the deposition process and the width and length dimensions. In the TruPlan browser, packaging is listed as sub nodes to the material node. Possible deposition processes include Fabric, Tape, Tow, and so on. Tape and Tows typically have an infinite length represented by the string “nan” (not a number).
