We'll play smart and create scalar parameters corresponding to the plate and stiffener dimensions_._ This will later allow us to vary these parameters and perform optimization studies.
Utility Menu > Parameters > Scalar Parameters
Define a parameter for the plate length l1 in mm:
L1=750
Click Accept. Similarly, define other parameters corresponding to the dimensions and click Accept after each (parameter names are not case-sensitive). Before you specify a parameter, refer to the geometry specification to remind yourself what dimension that parameter represents.
