design_parameter_name_2
value_2
design_parameter_name_ndp
value_ndp
nobj
objective_name_1
analysis_name_1

where
ndp is the number of design variables
nobj is the number of objectives (in Creo Simulate, there is just one single objective)
nlim is the number of limits
You must specify:
the names and values of design variables
