To use VRM, first select the Formula. Then select the Material. Enter the parameter in the Parameters field. The letter(s) correspond with the letter(s) in the image, in this case, the diameter.
Set the Requirement based on under 'Length' and finally fill in the net Product length and the gross Trade length.
