# Fluid Editor Dialog

The Fluid Editor dialog allows us to view or edit the physical properties of pre-defined fluids. When adding a new fluid to the database, we can define the data for each of the physical properties as shown below. Note, we can define new fluids as either 1) Pure Newtonian Fluid, 2) Simple Newtonian Liquid, 3) Gas (No Phase Change) and 4) Non-Newtonian Liquid. These options can be viewed in the row titled "Fluid Type". The physical properties required for the fluid data entry varies depending on which "Fluid Type" option is selected. If you click-through each option you can see the required list being populated based on your selection. Note: When adding a new fluid to the database, we MUST define ALL minimum properties required in order to model the fluid. When we have completed the data entry for all properties, the LIGHT-BULB icon on the bottom left corner of the Fluid Editor will be illuminated. If the LIGHT-BULB is not illuminated, the fluid will not be available for selection in the model, even though it is saved in the Database. To display the Fluid Editor Dialog: ▪Select the 'Database | Fluids...' menu item.
