Parameters to control geometry on Workbench

Hi,
I know the basics on how to work with Parameters on Workbench (assign values, assign expressions with other parameters, etc...). I was wondering if there is any way to make parameters work beyond altering measures?. Example: I want to model a shell and pipes heat exchanger. Alongside with the dimensions of shell and pipe being parameters I would like to have the number of pipes on the exchanger as a parameter. Like turning "on/off" the pipes on the geometry, or allowing the change on one parameter to alter the configuration of the pipes. Is anything like this possible? Thank you for your help |

If you create the pipes with the "Pattern" tool in Design Modeler, you can set number of copies as a parameter
