Import of "Equation Driven Curve"- variables/parameters from SolidWorks to COMSOL

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi COMSOL community

I have an equation representing a parabola, which i'm using in a sketch in SolidWorks with the use of "Equation Driven Curve" (Tools -> Sketch Entities -> Equation Driven Curve). How do I import the variables in this equation-driven sketch from SolidWorks to COMSOL through the "liveLink for SolidWorks".

Bonus info:
Usually, I use from within SolidWorks the "COMSOL Multiphysics" tab to get to "Parameter Selection" which allow me to pick the sketch parameters i want to be imported into COMSOL, and will be displayed in the "Parameters" table under "Global Definitions". This approach does not work since the parameters/variables that governs my parabola equation are not visuable under "Parameter Selection" in SolidWorks.


I have included a screenshot for better understanding
I Hope someone can be of help
