Parameterization
Parameterize the Pulley Diameter
22
Release 14.5
Parameterization
Note: We have now made the pulley diameter a parametric value. Since our goal is to
drive the other dimensions to automatically reflect any diameter change, well now
create several expressions for that purpose. In particular, there are 2 dimensions we
need to control, the hole pattern dimension and the pulleys groove radius (see below).
Recall the original dimensions were:
Pulley diameter = 60
Hole pattern = 20
Groove radius = 28
The desired formulae are:
a) Hole pattern placement:
Dimension = (Pulley_Diameter) / 3
b) Pulley groove diameter:
Dimension = (Pulley_Diameter)/2 - 2

NOTE: Your default parameter names may be different depending on the order
and type of Dimensions placed.
The Hole Pattern dimension (XYPlane.V2) needs to be = Pulley_Diameter/3.
Type this into the window as shown.

select update.
The new parameter value is sent to
DesignModeler and the model is
updated.
In practice you can create multiple
design points using different parameter
values and update from Workbench.
DesignModeler will update in the
background.
