a formula for length and diameter

[JeniaL]

Hi guys,
stuck with some formula. the length and the diameter of the tube depends on some code. for example tube dia. equals code multiplied by value, where 048 is a code and 0.125 is multiply value (tube dia in this case equals 6 inches) . both of this values defined as string in catia, however catia says it's impossible to multiply string by string and get a length parameter. how to deal with that?

Create 2 parameters, 1 sting and 1 length
In the string parameter enter the value of 048
Edit a forumula for the length parameter
String.1 ->ToReal() *.125in

The .125in will convert the sting (must be all numbers) to inches and divide by 1/8.
If it was a metric value than *1mm
