Hi everyone,  
I want to obtain verbosity information of creating a PCE model. I found a switch in uq\_PCE\_calculate\_coefficients.m, the code is in lines 17 & 18:  
% Verbosity level  
DisplayLevel = current\_model.Internal.Display;

And I found if DisplayLevel \>1, the verbosity information can be shown in creating myPCE.

But the default value is 1.

I would like to know how to change the value, because once the model is created, myPCE.Internal.Display is 1 and the information is not print, such as the example in  
uq\_Example\_PCE\_03\_SimplySupportedBeam.m

If I didn’t make it clear, please contact me.

Thanks!

Dear @zhangshengwang

Is the `.Display` field as explained in the manual Section 3.1, Table 3 what you are looking for?
