My aim is for the user to just be able to input a function in Workbench and have the geometry he desires. I know how the parametrization of dimensions works, however I'm trying for days to parameterize a curve in the form of a function, and I'm stuck. It seems like there isn't a way to input a function in DesignModeler or SpaceClaim, let alone being able to parameterize them. So I'm trying to figure out the approach of doing it in Solid Works and importing the geometry into Workbench with the 2 way Ansys-Solid Works extension. Works great with dimensions, but not at all with functions. The following 2 screenshots are the curve (blue) and its function that i want to parameterize in workbench, i'd be very grateful for some help on how to make this work, and I'm open for other ways that can make it work. Kind regards, Anas

Hello
Â
The SolidWorks plugin is capable of importing Global Variables which can then be driven from within the Ansys Parameters.
In my example here, a simple Global Variable "a" is exposed to the Parameter set. Note I had to change my parameter filter to include "a" so anything with "a" in the name will pass into Ansys.ÂThe question for SW support is: Can you drive your X1 or X2 parameters with an equation value such as "a". Â
If yes, then it seems you can accomplish your task.Â
