Example: add water density
In this example, water density as function of temperature which was measured at
1atm, are added to the system.
Step 1. Add your own water: Click Add data>Material property>Step 1:Material,
then Click material in Tree View, and click "Add" button above the tree view, now
the submit button is enabled and you can type
Water(l) as name;
H2O as formula (optional input);
add website URL that is related to process the distill water (optional input)
add reference of the publication (optional input)
Click submit, then Water(l) appears on your material tree view

Step 1: Add user's material
Another way to add water is finding water in system. This is prefered method if
you can find your material in the system. This method is also described
here.
Step 2: Add test water density method: Click Add data>Material property>Step
2: Test method, or just click link: Go to Step 2. Select Water(l) node in
the tree view, then click "Add" button, the submit button is enabled. You can type:
Density as property name; select absolute for precision; type kg/m^3 as unit
Select temperature as dependence; type C as unit
for temperature
Select Pressure as "at constant condition"; type atm as unit; give 1 as value for test condition at 1 atm
Give web site related to how to measure the property
Type comments or reference
Click submit, the density is then added to property tree view.

Step 3. Add property values by upload file: Click Add data>Material
property>Step 3: Property value, or just click link: Go to Step 3. Select
Density of Water(l) node in the tree view, then select Load data, the file upload
is then shown. I have text data saved as "water density.txt". They are save as
x,y format with x as temperature, y as desnity. Each set of x,y is one line. The
following is my data in the file.
0.0,999.839,0.001
25.0,997.048,0.002
40.0,992.2,0.1
After clicking upload, a mesage tells that it is uploaded.
