The Parameter Browser allows you to customize and automate the repeatable process of generating entire analysis sessions in HyperWorks Desktop. The reality of automation is that it's not always desirable to re-apply automation scripts exactly as they were originally defined. To remedy this, the Parameter Browser includes a graphical user interface for defining parameters that can be changed when an automation script is executed. After the parameters are defined, you can save the automation script and run it from the Reports panel. To display the browser, select Browsers > HyperWorks > Parameter from the View menu.
Below is a list of available report template parameters which can now be parameterized in HyperView.
Contour Control Data Component
Contour Control Legend Position
Scale Control Undeformed Color
Tracking Control Locator1 Locator1
Tracking Control Locator1 Locator2
Tracking Control Locator1 Locator3
