Use component parameter on User Defined Force inside Creo Mechanism

Use component parameter on User Defined Force inside Creo Mechanism

Hello.

Currently, I'm trying to insert inside my Creo Mechanism Analysis the effects of lateral wind. For this I would like to use a force so I can easily turn on and off for each analysis.

Would be nice to have it calculated using the cross-sectional area of the component multiplied by a constant Q (N/mm²).

How can I make available this measure of area (mm²) to the User Defined variables list?

Create a parameter using relation. In my case, the value is constant, so I can even do the equation in this step.

WIND_FORCE_BASE=AREA:FID_AREA_BASE*0.001

Inside Creo Mechanism, use Force, Function Type = Constant and instead of type the number for Coefficient A, type "WIND_FORCE_BASE", This will create a direct relation. Accept it and it is done. The amplitude of the Force is now related to the parameter.
