[a] An expression that is set as an input parameter in Ansys Workbench cannot be edited in CFX-Pre or CFD-Post (because the results of such edits are not passed to Ansys Workbench) and will be grayed out. However, the expression can be declared to no longer be an input parameter or it can be deleted.
