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":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["36186","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["218.248.46.107"],"_btv_view_count":["408"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["389234"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","36186"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["24"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["389897"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["389897"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-10-16 04:04:33"]},"test":"sudeepns-197me025nitk-edu-in"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/389234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/389234\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
