Rounding values in relations

[bruce81]

I am trying to round a parameter up to either 5 or 10. I am wondering if there is a way to write this into the relations so when this parameter is calculated in the relations it rounds automatically.

I'm assuming that you want to round to the nearest multiple of 5.
Pro/E doesn't have a 'modulo' function in its relations editor, so its necessary to brew your own. It's messy either way.

Let's say your parameter is called "NUM". Relation code for rounding it is as follows:

TEMP1 = NUM/5
TEMP2 = floor(TEMP1)   
TEMP3 = TEMP1-TEMP2

IF TEMP3 < 0.5     
ROUNDED_NUM = 5*TEMP2
ELSE
ROUNDED_NUM = 5*TEMP2+5
ENDIF

There's probably more efficient ways to do this, though, but it's a solution that has worked well for me in the past.

Yes, this is what I was looking for. I knew this was possible but couldn't get my code to work correctly. Thank you
