Parameters for ANSYS design exploration
Parameters for ANSYS design exploration
(OP)
I want to export an assembly from SolidWorks to Workbench to do a goal driven optimisation. I can export it fine using the interface, however when I open it in ANSYS there are no parameters (for dimensions) that I can edit. I go to the geometry properties, and parameters is checked. Also I see parameter key=DS. So I'm assuming they need to be labelled in SolidWorks with "DS". Is this correct, and if so, how do I do it? If not, how do I get ANSYS to recognise the parameters so I can edit them?

Then export the assembly to workbench, check that the option parameters is on (it is on by default). Insert a static structural item to use the geometry we have just imported. Edit the model tab. Go to the "geometry" item in the tree and expand it. Click on each part in the tree and look at the details box below the tree. In the last group "CAD parameters" you should see all the parameters for each part.
To activate them just click on each check box and a blue P will appear. Close the static structural window and go back to the project window. You should see now a tab named "parameter set" that you can edit.
