(refer to figures)<\/p>\n<p>I tried to work with mere curves and lines but the pull and move tool to make the lines parametric seems not to be working fine.<\/p>\n<p>So, I transformed that area on the body&#039;s face, into a shell element, that way the pull tool can be used. But I still have a problem to make the diameter dimensions parametric:<\/p>\n<p>If I use the move tool, setting the option to &quot;move radially about and axis&quot; and selecting the axis of the circle, the center of the circle changes its position instead of changing the value of the diameter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/302\/AWTJ5DLXJZHE.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/302\/AWTJ5DLXJZHE.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-169039","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-parameter","topic-tag-parametric","topic-tag-parametric-analysis","topic-tag-parametrize","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["422"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["254865","250334"],"_edit_lock":["1681289058:2"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["169039"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","250334","254865"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["223448"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["223448"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-08-05 17:24:58"]},"test":"gvalcarcelpablogmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169039\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
