"and" and "or" operators in Mechanism

[david_ambrose]

I am using Mechanism 2, Release M080. I am writing a user defined function
expression for a Force/Torque definition. The operators that are available
include a "logical and" and a "logical or" operator. I cannot find
anything in the ProE WF2 Help Topic Collection - Mechanism Design
Extension that describes how these two operators can be used. I have a
possible application, but need to know how/when/where these two operators
can be used.

Any help would be appreciated.

David,

If your question is one of syntax, I believe you will be safe in using
standard paragraph () separations, placing your "and" and "or" operators in
between, without the quotation marks.

All,

The logical following logical operators are used in Pro/E relations:

math operators: + - * / ^ ( ) =
functions: ln(), log(), abs(), ceil(), floor(), sqrt()
trig functions: sin(), cos(), tan(), asin(), acos(), atan(), sinh(),
cosh(), tanh() Note: The trig functions are always in degrees
logical comparison: & (and), | (or), ! (not)
logical equality: ==
inequalities: != (not equal), < (greater than), > (less than), <=
(greater than or equal), >= (less than or equal)

I think the operators would be the same for mechanism expressions.



Best regards,

Matthew
