Using CAD Modification variables in a Parametric study

Specify the CAD modifications you want to investigate, and include them in a Parametric study.

To prepare a Parametric study with CAD Modification variables:

  1. Open or Create a Project.
  2. Import a CAD model.
  3. Define the CAD modifications you want to investigate, using the Modify CAD Surfaces tools.
  4. Click Save CAD modification to save your changes.
  5. Enter a name for the CAD modification geometry you specified.

    The saved CAD modifications are now accessible to the Parametric Study Builder, and in the ribbon (Geometry tab > Modify panel > CAD modification).

  6. Complete the Prerequisites to setting up a parametric study.
    Note: The Parametric Study builder remeshes automatically when CAD variables are included, so that the original mesh entities are deleted. To preserve your properties, make sure to set them on CAD models and curves only, and not on mesh elements.
  7. Follow the Launching a Parametric study tasks.
