Help with parametric modelling

Submitted by JayZ900807 on

I want to perform a parametric study, where the geometry of

an object is varied. However, the only catch is that I need to be able to do

this by parametrizing the input file. I have given an example below to more

clearly explain, what I am trying to say. 

Let’s just say i have a cube, and i want to define the

distance between two opposite faces by a parameter called 'length', with a value

of 20mm. I know that this would be written in the input file as: 

*PARAMETER

length = 20.

The problem is just that I don’t know how to relate ‘length’

to the distance between the two faces. I am using Abaqus 6.7 EF-1

Thanks for your help!
