I want to export an assembly from SolidWorks to Workbench to do a goal driven optimisation. I can export it fine using the interface, however when I open it in ANSYS there are no parameters (for dimensions) that I can edit. I go to the geometry properties, and parameters is checked. Also I see parameter key=DS. So I'm assuming they need to be labelled in SolidWorks with "DS". Is this correct, and if so, how do I do it? If not, how do I get ANSYS to recognise the parameters so I can edit them?
