Hi,

I would like to so a simple parametric sweep of the position of an element in a 2D model. I define a parameter under global definitions and then under Geometry1 I Move1 by that parameter.

Unfortunately I the parametric sweep function does not include the geometry or mesh. I tried creating a parametric weep function note in the solver using continuation under Step 1 but I still get the same warning. "Parametric solver does not support geometry and mesh dependent parameters."

How can I sweep a parameter in the geometry? I attached the model.

Thanks,
Matthias

Matthias,

in your model you aren't using DY as parameter but rather VP0, and you have cyclic dependency in VP0, look into the parameter definition.
To make sure it works you can also set in the parameter study node in the study extensions tab: set 'use parametric solver to OFF. This makes sure the parameter study sweeps through the geometry and mesh in each step.

Cheers
Edgar
