Modifying an Equation

To modify an equation in the Modify dialog box for a dimension:

In the model, double-click a dimension that has an equation.
An Equations icon appears next to the dimension.

The Modify dialog box for dimensions displays, showing the name of the dimension and the current value.
Edit the equation.
You can assign units of measurement to each value in the equation by using the type-ahead list or by typing the unit directly. If you specify different units of measurement to each value, the equation will evaluate to the units of measurement defined in the document.
Click Rebuild and then .

The model is rebuilt based on the modified equation.
