Trade Study Analysis - Nested Alternatives

Hi All, just wanted to share with you a tip when using the trade study analysis. In the following example I have two sets of alternatives that I want to run (motherboard and processor) where the processor is part of the motherboard. When the motherboard alternatives are loaded it overwrites the processor. A solution is to add in a buffer/dummy part property of the same type and then link the values required which allows the trade study analysis simulation to work correctly.

You could also use this method if you only want only some values from an instance to be loaded.
