Hello. I am attempting to use parameters to try different cases on my model. I want to see what the stress response is if I change one or two dimension(s) in the model.<\/p>\n
In Mechanical, I am able to find the dimension I wish to parameterize in the Geometry -> CAD Parameters section and check the tick box for the particular parameter I want to modify. In addition, in the Solution Results -> Equivalent Stress -> Results section I am able to check the tick box for Maximum (result). When I go to Parameter set (back in workbench), I am able to designate different design points for the dimension.<\/p>\n
When I click Update All Design Points, I get a message for every point that isn’t the “current” one which reads, “(DP 1) The Model component in Mechanical Model for Design Point 1 requires user input before it can be updated. For instructions on how to address the cell in its current state, click the blue triangle in the lower right corner of the cell in the Project Schematic.” When I attempt to click the blue triangle in the lower right corner of the cell in the Project Schematic all it says is, All data is up to date and no attention is required.<\/p>\n
I don’t understand what I am missing regarding this. I tried changing the parameter to the material assignment, changed those around in the parameter set menu, and it was able to calculate the max stress for the different cases no problem. I also tried a simplified model of just a single component and a single force, and it too worked fine. Is there some setting that I am forgetting to turn on or off or something? Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
