DesignXplorer geometrical parameter

(OP)
Hi,

I would like to use a geometric parameter as a variable in the "What if design-points" table.  Is that possible?  Can I ask Ansys to evaluate a set of different, let's say thicknesses of some detail in the geometry?

I'm currently using Catia v5, by the way.

I found some info.  As I understand it, one defines a parameter of interest in the CAD system.  This parameter's name must contain "ds" or "DS".

Then you import the parameter somehow.  I figured that perhaps one could import the parameter through the Parameter Manager, but that didn't doesn't work for me.

Were and how do I import the parameter?

So, it's not possible to control parameters of Catia models.  However, it's quite an easy task if one uses Solid Works for instance.
