Close the Scalar Parameters window. Note that we have specified the radii in mm, the load p in N and the Young's modulus in N/mm2. Therefore, the displacement results we obtain will be in mm and the stresses in N/mm2.

We can now enter these variable names instead of the corresponding values as we set up the problem in ANSYS. This is also helpful in carrying out parametric studies where one looks at the effect of changing a parameter.
