Customizing Prompts for Input Variables
Whenever input is required, the system prompts you to enter the value of the input variable. Instead of using the system prompts, you can customize prompts for particular input variables. Then, during design execution, the prompts appear when the associated variable requires input.
The rules for including prompts follow:
• A prompt must be enclosed in quotation marks.
• A prompt must immediately follow the corresponding input variable.
For example:
INPUT
THICKNESS NUMBER
"Enter wall thickness for the cylinder"
INCLUDE_VALVE YES_NO
"Is valve to be included for analysis"
STOCK_ID STRING
"Enter the part’s stock ID"
...
END INPUT
Deleting Input Lines
If an input variable is deleted from the design or its name is changed, the relations and conditions that use it do not become invalid automatically. The old variable name remains in the list of parameters of the model and needs to be deleted explicitly using the Del Param command.
