Hello Januk,
Thanks for your help.
Your suggestion works, but only to a point.
For example, in the snippet of code above, if MeauredCMF is a function
of VolumeFraction and VolumeFraction itself is a function of a third
variable, say Volume, I'm still unable to visualize how Measured CMF
changes with Volume, even using  ReplaceAll.
I'm puzzled because it would seem logical that if a is a function of b
and b is a function of c, then a is a function of c.
I appreciate your help,
Daniele
