Volume Equation
Volume Equation
(OP)
How do you apply an equation to a feature so that the feature's height is driven by the desired volume of the feature?

RE: Volume Equation
Thanks for your reply. I have a oval shaped cup with internal features which effect the volume. I want to add graduations on the exterior of the cup showing 10ml, 20ml etc.
I placed a construction plane about 1/2" up from the bottom of the cup. I created an intersecting curve with the plane and the interior surface of the cup. I created an extrusion from this curve down to the floor of the cup using the "Up to Body" command. I can easily use mass properties to calculate the volume. I can then move the plane up and down to get the exact volume and then place the graduation line accordingly.
I was hoping I could use the "Equation" command to drive the height of the plane by inputing the desired volume.

DT reads measured volume to a cell and the IF function compares that to the target volume. The result adjusts the height of the volume.
