Test Design variations by setting Variables in Feature Script

Hello, I would like to optimize a sketch by experimenting with different variable combinations in FeatureScript. My sketch currently utilizes two dimensions controlled by variables. Now, I want to modify these variables in FeatureScript and calculate the area of a face as a result of these changes.

However, when I set the variables in a loop in FeatureScript and measure the area, I obtain the same results for each iteration. I suspect this is because the sketch isn't recomputed during the execution of the FeatureScript.

Is there a way to trigger a recompute of the sketch while running the FeatureScript, or do I need to create the entire sketch in FeatureScript and then recreate it within the loop with the new dimensions?
