16.1 *PARAMETER: Deﬁne parametersfor input parametrization.

This option is used to deﬁne parameters that can be used in place of ABAQUS input quantities.

Optional keyword parametersto deﬁne tabularly dependent parameters (if any are speciﬁed,

they must all be speciﬁed):

DEPENDENT

Set this keyword parameter equal to the list of dependent para meters being deﬁned in this option.

The list must be given inside parentheses as parameter names separated by commas; for example,

(depPar1, depPar2, depPar3).

INDEPENDENT

Set this keyword parameter equal to the list of independent paramet ers used in this option. The

list must be given inside parentheses as parameter names separated by commas; for example,

(indPar1, indPar2, indPar3).

TABL E

Set this keyword parameter equal to the name of the parameter dependence table, deﬁned by the

*PARAMETER DEPENDENCE option, that deﬁnesthe relationship between the dependent and

independent parameters in this option.

Data lines to deﬁne independent or expressionallydependent parameters if the DEPENDENT,

INDEPENDENT,and TABLE keyword parameters are omitted:

First line:

1. Pythonexpression assigning a value to a parameter.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to deﬁne independent and expressionally dependent

parameters. The data given on this data line cannot be parameterized.
