External Email - Use Caution        

Just want to confirm the following change is good to use to force use of ants-n3 with FS 7.2.

 

It appears as though FS 7.2 with ants-n3 gives us better results than the default n4.

We changed  /etc/recon-config.yaml to the following, and it appears to work and the recon-all log file appears to indicate N3 Nu intensity correction being used (see below). Is this change acceptable.
