Maximum Sublayer Thickness

This option allows the user to override the default maximum sublayer thickness of 5 units. The maximum sublayer thickness is set at 5 to avoid possible exponential overflow in the program, which can occur sometimes if the sublayers are too large.

If the maximum sublayer thickness is not changed then the number of sublayers is automatically increased if required to keep their thickness to less than 5. For example, if the layer thickness was 50m with 5 sublayers (giving a sublayer thickness of 10), the program will automatically adjust the number of sublayers to 10.

To select this option select the Maximum Sublayer Thickness menu item from the Special Features menu. The Maximum Sublayer Thickness form will be displayed.

WARNING: When overriding this maximum sublayer thickness the user takes the risk that the program could crash or give false results.
