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. nLet 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. nn
