CREO RELATIONS.

I have a frame, let's say 500 x 350 (extruded) with a depth of 36 mm.

There is a water cooling channel running across the frame, as shown in the image below. How can I make the water cooling channel change its pitch according to the frame size? For example, if I make the frame 350 x 350, the water cooling channel collapses on itself due to the number of channels overlapping the frame size.

Hi,

please provide following information:

What Creo release do you use?

Are you looking for something like this? This is controlled by constraints, no relations needed, to keep the spacing even.

There is always more to learn.

Yes, thats how i did it but when i change the frame size to 350 x 350 the loops will overlape each another as the frame size is small to not fit the loop circuit. What i am trying to do is to make a relation where when i can shrink the frame size the pitch of the water cooling channel changes to 1 from the center line.

both images are the same model and same sketch. I only changed the base width from 350 to 500. Making the horizontal lines equal maintains a constant pitch, whatever the width. Here it is at a width of 1000:

If you want to change the number of loops and the pitch based on the width, that is a more complicated design that would require relations and most likely patterns.
