amount of holes by length of profile with parameters

[BA_10140001]

I have a U profile that I control with parameters.

There are 2 holes in this profile, if the length is 1000mm. If the profile is bigger than 1000mm, then I want to have 4 or more holes in the profile.

Can this be set parametrically with Creo 7?

How do I do this ?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

If you are asking how to vary the number of holes in a part based on the length of the part, then you can do it with conditional statements in the relations. Put a conditional test in the relations for the length and then adjust the number of holes as required.

The pseudo code would look something like this.

If length <= X

then # of holes =H1

else 

   If length >X

   then # of holes = Y

endif

See this for reference:

Another option is to use Pro/Program which can pause for user interaction if desired to deal with this.

Hi,

unzip uploaded file and open example.prt. Then change part length from 200 to 300 (for example) and regenerate. Then investigate relations.
