For example:
Ive created a cylinder assembly of which all relevant dimensions are driven by a list of parameters.
Whenever I create a copy of the cilinder with new dimensions, The max extension of the rod is also parameter driven and should therefore also update when I change this length. Sadly this does not work. I can fill in the parameter (in this case: "SLAG" pardon my Dutch) and the parameter changes into the number, but will not update after.
Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
That's correct suggestion Martin.
Any connection related constants are represented as "connection parameters" :. For Pin rotation axis for e.g. we have :
ROTATION1_STATIC_FRICTION
ROTATION1_KINETIC_FRICTION
ROTATION1_CONTACT_RADIUS
ROTATION1_RESTITUTION
ROTATION1_MINIMUM_LIMIT
ROTATION1_MAXIMUM_LIMIT
ROTATION1_ZERO_POSITION
So to drive connection parameter by any model parameter it will be best to create component level relation, like :
ROTATION1_ZERO_POSITION:CONN_2 = ZERO_POS_PARAM
where correct connection postfix (CONN_2) is obtained automatically when you select parameter in Relations / Insert Parameter from Name List / (select Connection subtype) / pick corresponding connection in Model Tree.
Hi,
I guess that you have to define a relation, which puts model parameter value into mechanism maximum limit. Unfortunatelly I am not sure if it is possible to define such relation.

Cheers Vladimir,
Works like a charm.
