Using a FORMULA
Using a FORMULA
(OP)
I am trying to learn how to use the formula function in CATIA V5. I was attempting to use a formula on the diameter of a cylindar, but can't quite figure out how the formula feature works. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks





RE: Using a FORMULA
create a parameter for the wall thickness
create a parameter for the inside radius
create a parameter for the outside radius
After you create those parameters listed above, double click on the outside radius parameter. When the "edit parameter" pop up, click right mouse button on the "parameter's value". Next click "edit formula" then you just need to select parameter of the inside radius (+) wall thickness parameter. Try this out you will see the outside radius value changes when you change the inside radius or the wall thickness values.

RE: Using a FORMULA
-Create a new parameter for Cylinder diameter. Type of parameter set to Length. Give a name to your new parameter eg. DIAMETER
-At the sketch you need to do dimension as radius (you can't add formula to diameter). Click the dimension with mb3. Select 'Edit Formula' from Radius Object sub-menu.
- On Formula Editor give DIAMETER/2.
