multiply part in assembly design with formula
multiply part in assembly design with formula
(OP)
On which manner is possible to multiply part in assembly design, but to define everything with formula (number of parts and spacing between parts)
I try it with Multi Instantiation tool, but there is no option to input formula in new instance, or in spacing between parts.
There is no problem in part design to multiply part with pattern tool and define every parameter with formula, but how can I do that in assembly design.
Thanks!

RE: multiply part in assembly design with formula
But if you have a pattern in part then you can use "reuse pattern" to instaciate parts according to that pattern
RE: multiply part in assembly design with formula
In Define multi instancing I can’t define numbers of instances by formula. I can define them now, but in next case I would not know how many instances will be, because their numbers depend of some dimensions which I would like to bond with formula.
Option reuse pattern is also unenviable because I don’t have pattern in part. I try to define pattern in part design on some sketcher but it only works with bodies, in that case I will have to make some body and multiply it with pattern and hide it, then after all I will have pattern to use option reuse pattern in assembly design.

It the "fake" Part that contains the pattern must not appear in the BOM, you can hide it from the BOM (see edit properties)

I totally forgot for Generative shape design, for creating sketcher and using pattern on it. But is this possible, assembly design can’t multiply parts and define their numbers and spacing by formula.
I can’t believe that only option is to create in generative shape design some fake sketch which will be multiply with pattern (here is possible to use formula and define some parameters like spacing and number of items) , and after all in assembly design us reuse pattern tool.

RE: multiply part in assembly design with formula
I used Define multi instansing tool, but I didn’t found any possibility to import formula.
Can you gave me example, how can I import A+B-1 number of instances (A and B are some variable parameters). I try almost everything.
Thanks.

Multi instantiation tool in Assembly Design is one-time tool. There isn't any associativity with it.
