Extrusion multiplier
I did not understand if the parameters of "Extrusion Multiplier = Diameter true / Theoretical diameter" in the menu "Extruder" and "filament diameter" in the "Other" menu must be set both. I do not know how S3D in this case. Thank you.

Re: Extrusion multiplier
They will both affect how much plastic your nozzle extrudes. I like to think of the "filament diameter" as a coarse settings, while the "extrusion multiplier" is used for fine adjustments.
So just set the filament diameter to whatever diameter filament you have (i.e. 1.75mm or 3.0mm). Then start doing some test prints and adjust the extrusion multiplier accordingly. For example, if you adjust the extrusion multiplier from 1.0 to 0.9, you will be extruding 10% less plastic.

I shall undertake some tests
