		<td>Description:</td>
		<td>
		This model demonstrates the ANSA component being driven by a design of experiments (DOE) component.
		The reference ANSA model is a piston rod.  The DOE factors are three ANSA parameters controlling the
		piston geometry - the curvature, the taper, and the pocket depth.  The ANSA software is used to produce
		a run-ready Abaqus input deck which is mapped forward to the Abaqus component for execution.  The DOE responses
		are taken from the Abaqus calculation - maximum displacement, stress, and reaction forces.
