Problem to parameterize my model on Hypermesh

I want to create a rectangular box in Hypermesh CFD to be used as a cooling system. There will be an inlet and an outlet for the fluid entering and exiting the box. Inside the box, there are N cylinders, each with three parameters: their diameter, their x-coordinate, and their y-coordinate in the rectangular plane. I can create these parameters in my sketch in Hypermesh CFD under ‘variables’, but when I extrude my cylinders, an error occurs when I change the values of these parameters, and my cylinders do not move.

I know I could use another software like Catia to create these parameters, but I want to use Hyperstudy to import these parameters to optimize my system by modifying them. I want Hyperstudy to change the parameters, mesh my model, calculate the thermal transfer, and then repeat the process with new parameter values.

Is it possible to import both a model from Catia with the parameters and the model from Hypermesh CFD, and instruct Hyperstudy to update the Hypermesh CFD model when I change the parameters in the Catia model? Or is it possible to do this solely with Hypermesh? Are there any other solutions?
