The Parameters Manager lists dimensional constraint parameters, reference parameters, and user variables, which you can also create, edit, and organize.
You can easily create, modify, and delete parameters from the Parameters Manager, which supports the following operations:
Dimensional constraint parameters and user variables support the following operators within expressions:
Operator | Description |
---|---|
+ | Addition |
- |
Subtraction or unary negation |
% |
Floating point modulo |
* |
Multiplication |
/ | Division |
^ | Exponentiation |
( ) | Parenthesis, expression delimiter |
. |
Decimal separator |
Expressions are evaluated according to the following standard mathematical rules of precedence:
