Parameterise mass limit, material and topology optimisation Mindim

I've created a topology optimisation model in HyperMesh and I'm happy how it's working. My simulation optimises for compliance at a given mass limit. Now I want to automate a lot of changes I could make using HyperStudy. The main things I want to look at is varying the mass limit, the minimum dimension input for the topology design variable and to look at using different materials for my components. Unfortunately I don't know how to make HyperStudy change these variables.

When I export my HyperMesh model the only parameters I am currently able to add to HyperStudy are Material properties (Instead of changing the material to a completely different one with preset properties), Force magnitudes and any custom parameters I create. However I don't know how to put any of these parameters into the variables I mentioned previously.

Please advise what I need to do.
