Is it possible to get dimensions of the blank part with common MOM functions/vars?
 
If you use common expressions for the blank variables. then yes. You will need to know the expression names. for example if the expression for the length is called blank_x


set blank_xlen "[MOM_ask_ess_exp_value blank_x]"

Thanks a lot! I think that's it! ;)
 
a bit tricky for me. mb there is a some kind of list of expressions?
 

Yes there is a list of expressions - Tools - Expressions or Information - Expressions.
The post needs to know what the names of the expressions are before you can get the values. A more elaborate method would be to create a UDE where you can input the expression names and then output the values in the post. Either way you will still need to know the expression name. yes it's a bit tricky.
