I have attached an image for your reference.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, while trying to import that Nickel site species in the porous zone, it does not appear in the drop-down list. (Attached image for your reference)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now, I have the following doubts.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;1. Is there any possible way to define the site species in the drop-down list under the porous section?&lt;br&gt;or&lt;br&gt;2. If I define the &#8216;NICKEL&#8217; element and give the same properties as Nickel site species, do the tools consider both as the same or will they both be different?&lt;br&gt;If they are both different, how can we solve this problem?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Looking forward to clarifications.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/11-10-2024-1728639263-Material_properties.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/11-10-2024-1728639289-Porous_Property.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-389234","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-ansys-1","topic-tag-fluent-cfd-ansys-1","topic-tag-chemical-reaction","topic-tag-heterogeneous-reaction","topic-tag-solid-surface","topic-tag-surface-reaction-1","topic-tag-surface-reactions","topic-tag-wall-surface-reaction-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dear Ansys Community, Greetings!
