Hey there...
I've constructed a model in SW from parts and sub-assemblies, some of which share commons dimensions. Although such common dimensions are linked together in SW, when I sync SW to ANSYS Workbench 2.0, the dimensions are differentiated by sketch number and part. So, for example, the common dimension 'DS_Rad' is divided up into five:
DS_Rad@Sketch1@PBR.Part
DS_Rad@Sketch2@Clad.Part
DS_Rad@Sketch1@Spacer.Part
DS_Rad@Sketch1@Link.Part
DS_Rad@Sketch1@Anchor.Part
ANSYS WB can do design optimization, but the number of simulations it has to run is heavily dependent on the number of parameters I give it. ANSYS thinks I'm giving it more parameters I than I really am due to the renaming of common parameters.
Is there something that can be done in SW to remove this problem?
