I would like to define a global variable in an assembly and reference it in a part (or vice versa). This seems like a simple task, but have been unable to figure out. I need to use this approach since I have a FEM application that interfaces with the assembly and can read and modify its global variables, but I need the use the value of the variable in an embedded part. I'm a newbie, so I apologise in advance if I'm asking something obvious or already posted.
