Layer models (and modifications) - ten components:
The worksheet is designed for rock composed of (maximum) 10 components.

Input: Material parameter

Type into the yellow fields the volume properties (the sum must be 1.00).
The material parameters are listed in the blue field; you can change also these values.

Rock composition: (insert volume fractions in yellow cells!)
