First of all, thank you for your answer (and btw: the 'not english' isn't a problem, if its my native language ^_~))nHowever, i couldn't find an answer in the videos. So i will try to explain it more - now with support of figures. While the 1st pictures is only for general understanding of the WB layout, the 2nd figure is the important one. n
Let me first focus on the parameter P6 and P13. I want to specify the latter to translate/multiply the mesh in Y. The value should be identical to P6, however i cannot create a parameter connection (P13 = P6), because P13 needs a unit, which P6 has not (because its an imported CAD parameter). Likewise i cannot create a link between P2 (input parameter for CAD without unit) and P17 (imported parameter from MS Excel with unit). Of course i could create a detour by using MS Excel, where two cells have the same values but for only one of them there is a specified unit. However, i find that a little bit too much of a workaround and i hoped there is a more direct approach. n
