3. For Cut_Depth, select Range. For Min, type 1mm and for Max, type 10mm.
4. In the Click here to add Variables list, select Cyl_Ht.
The parameter represents the height of the cylinder defined by the Boss-Extrude1
feature.
5. For Cyl_Ht, select Range. For Min, type 11mm and for Max, type 15mm.
6. In the Click here to add Variables list, select Cut_Diameter.
The parameter represents a through hole along the axis of the knob defined by the Cut-Extrude3
feature.
7. For Cut_Diameter, select Range. For Min, type 2mm and for Max, type 9mm.

6. Select Optimization and click Run.
The program selects the variables using a Design of Experiments method, invokes the Simulation study
at each iteration, and finds the optimal solution. See SOLIDWORKS Simulation Help: Properties for the
Optimization Design Study for a description of the method.
