Note
What If? studies use functionality inherent to ANSYS Workbench. A DesignXplorer license
is not required to complete this workshop.
This tutorial covers the following sections:
1. Getting Started
2. Promoting Input and Output Parameters
3. Working with Design Points in Workbench
4. Working with Parameters Charts in DesignXplorer
5. Viewing the Solution
1. Getting Started
Model Description
The model is composed of a multibody part (three bodies) created in DesignModeler. Constraints and
loads are shown below.
The dimensions labeled 1, 2, and 3, shown below, will be promoted to input parameters.

Note
An alternate method of viewing this chart is to select the parameter P6 and then doubleclick on the Parameters Chart P6 vs ? option in the Toolbox.
Next, well add a chart that illustrates the relationship between a selected output parameter and each
of the design points.
1.
Select any cell in the ID column of the Outline of All Parameters view.
