  Hi, So I was simulating a mechanism that involved a counterweight and the mechanism is placed on a structure. is there any method I could use parameterization in the mass of the counterweight used and analysis its deformation on the structure?
  Plz, help. I am not able to create an input parameter for the mass of the counterweight. Thank You.
  
  I wanted the P3 parameter as the input and the P2 parameter as the output.

  Hi
  
  Not sure I understand exactly but if you are getting the mass (output only of course of a part) of a part one can parameterize e.g., by changing the physical dimensions of the part, or the material density used for that part (make density a parameter in engineering data).
  
  ALso another way could be (not sure if this is possible since I do not see a model) to use a point mass (see below), and make the mass a parameter:
  
  All the best
