Selecting the Input File and Parameters

After you select and read the design variable file, the component displays the available parameters.

  1. Double-click the ANSA component icon .

    The ANSA Component Editor appears.

  2. From the ANSA Component Editor, click the Input tab.

  3. Click Browse.

  4. Navigate to the ANSA design variables ( _dv.txt ) file you want to use, and click Open.

    You can click to re-read the ANSA input file.

    The Input tab is populated with the set of parameters that can be controlled by Isight.



  5. Select the parameters you want to use in your Isight model by doing any of the following:

    Option Description
    Add the selected parameters.
    Add all the parameters.
    Clear the selected parameters.
    Clear all the parameters.

    The selected parameters are added to Isight. The parameters are mapped to the ANSA component and will be used with the corresponding Isight model.

  6. If desired, edit the parameter Name and Value.

    The parameter values can be varied only within specified limits. The parameters can either have discrete values or any value within the specified limits.

    Click the parameter value to view the list of available values or range.

  7. If you are working with a large number of parameters, you can do the following to sort and filter the parameters in Isight.

    • Sort the parameters by clicking the corresponding column header.

      The first click sorts the column data in ascending order. The second click sorts the column data in descending order. A third click returns the data to its original unsorted state. The small arrow icons to the right of the column heading indicate the current sorting option.

    • Filter by Mode or by Type.
    • To view certain aspects of the parameters, type the parameter name in the Filter box.

  8. Click OK to save your changes and to return to the Design Gateway.
