First, set the specific gravity of the particles (typically 3.2 for cement, 2.2 for silica fume, etc.)

Particle specific gravity:

Then, below this table, enter either the total number of particles, the total number of pixels, or the desired w/c ratio. You can also change the mass fractions or specifically fix the number(s) of certain size particles.
