4.5.3.7 Device Setup

A major node in the hierarchical tree (Fig. 4.2) formed by the PROMIS-NT input deck model hierarchy is occupied by the DeviceSetupModel. Its task is to assign the segment specific Models determining the

• quantity initialization Models,
• coefficient setup of the volume models (4.1) - (4.2)
• coefficient setup of the boundary models (4.7) - (4.10)
• quantity post processing Models.

For that purpose its interface consists of four parameters (Table 4.13) which associate material segments and boundaries between material segments with appropriate MDL class types.
