If you click Modeling variables, the Variables form opens, and you can create new variables or change the existing ones. Note You cannot use special characters, such as asterisks (), ampersands (&), spaces, or quotation marks (") in variable names. Whenever you enter a variable name here, the system verifies whether there are unauthorized characters. If there are unauthorized characters, a message is displayed. Also, if you try to begin a variable name by using a number, a syntax error occurs when a product model that contains such a variable is compiled. Click Next >* to continue.
Variable group	Create the variable groups that you need for presentation in the user dialog box. If you click Variable group, the Variable group form opens, and you can create new groups or change the existing ones. Click Next > to continue.
