parametric design

[rothoog]

hello helpful people,

I'd like to know how I can create a design formula in catia v5, where I can 'say':
If 'length.1' >= 3000, then 'value=60', else 'value=50'

In my language: if my pallet's width is bigger than 3000 millimeter, than my axis diameter must be 60 mm, if my pallet's width is smaller than 3000 mm, my axis diameter must be 50.

The pallet and the axis are different parts.
i think its enough information for my problem,

with kind regards,
R.

You would need to create a Knowledgeware Advisor Rule

The syntax would be something like:

If 'length.1' >= 3000mm {
value=60mm
}
else
{
value=50mm
}

If you don't have a KWA license then you may find the cheat on this site useful:

Just read the part about the parameters being in different parts. In this case you may want to link the parts using the External Parameters or you may want to have a common product which contains the rule to drive the parameter value.
