Mechanica Sensitivity Study

[jblanck]

I have created a simple L-Shaped bracket reinforced by ribs. The number of ribs is controlled by a parameter. I want to run a sensitivity study showing the displacement of the bracket versus number of ribs. When I try to select the parameter I the message:





"Mechanica cannot use a parameter of this type. Please select a parameter of type double."





My goal is to have Pro-E generate a graph of number of ribs versus displacement.


Any tips on how to acheive this?

You cannot have a parameter that is an integer. Instead, create a parameter that drives the integer value of the pattern. This way, you can use the "double", or "real", number as the sensitivity parameter that will then drive the integer value of the pattern.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Kaz,





Changing the parameter to a real number worked out just fine.

I'm glad my memory still serves me! It's been a while since I had the same issue ...

Cheers!
