11. Under Param name, type a name for the parameter or accept the default name.
The default parameter name MC_<variablename> reflects the name of the PTC Mathcad output variable.
12. Click Next to create a PTC Mathcad output file or datum points or a datum coordinate system.
The Result datums window appears. The table lists the creation status, datum name, and description for the PTC Mathcad output file or datum points or the datum coordinate system to be created.
13. To create an output file, select the appropriate row from the Result datums table and set Create to YES. To change the default name of the output file, enter the desired name in the Datum name box.
14. To create datum points, select the appropriate row from the Result datums table and retain the YES value for the Create option. Create is set to YES by default. To change the default names of the datum points, enter the desired name in the Datum name box.
15. To create a datum curve, select the appropriate row from the Result datums table and set Create to YES. To change the default name of the datum curve, enter the desired name in the Datum name box.
16. To create a datum coordinate system, select the appropriate row from the Result datums table and retain the YES value for the Create option. Create is set to YES by default. To change the default name of the datum coordinate system, enter the desired name in the Datum name box.
