As shown in the figure below, properties such as Name, Value, Symmetric and so on can be defined in the Design Variable sub-entity window. General Sub-Entity Properties have been introduced in Figure 8.18: General properties of sub-entity pages and toolbar and the special properties are shown in the table below.
Figure 8.21: Design Variable properties
| Parameter | Symbol | Description | Dimension (Range) |
| 1. Value | N/A |
Use to set the variable value. Real, integer and expression values are
available in the input field. For an expression, simple
arithmetic operations such as plus, minus, multiplication

N/A (Real, Integer, or Expression) |
| 2. Ref. | N/A | Use to display the value of the expression. If the
Ref. option is selected, the resultant
value will be displayed in the input field. For the
ccc, a value of -1 will be displayed. | N/A |
| 3. File | N/A | Use to import and export a design variable file which contains property values for the Design Variable. The file has a text format and the contents are as shown in Figure 8.22: Design Variable file format (below). The values are delimited by either space or comma. | N/A |
| 4. D.P | N/A | Use to set the design parameter for DOE. See Design Parameters. | N/A |
