Parametrized Data

[dannymacjd]

Hello to all. This is a first time post and am unsure if I am posting in the right thread for this forum (please let me know if I need to modify my thread placement).

I have a parametrized data problem "WARNING: The input file contains one or more data items which have been parameterized...". The warning is very common from what I have read on various forums but I need a little assistance in the what I am specifically searching for. I am working out of the Abaqus 6.10 online documentation,

http://www.sharcnet.ca/Software/Abaqus610/Documentation/docs/v6.10/books/exa/default.htm,

Example Problem 2.1.17 pawlratchet_impact.inp. Any of the two input files would be a great help to me if I can get them open and running.

The input file parameter section can hopefully summarized by the input file segment below:

** PARAMETERS
**
*Parameter
**Time controls for the pre-load step <sec>:
simulationTimePreLoad=0.005
delta_t_initPreLoad=0.001
**
**Time controls for the impact step <sec>:
simulationTimeImpact=0.06
delta_t_initImpact=0.001
** ...it continues for a while after that.

I am unsure of how to go about replacing values. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
