Automatic parameter adjustment to match some criteria
Automatic parameter adjustment to match some criteria
(OP)
I am using NX9.
I want a body to have a certain prescribed volume by automatically adjusting some parameter.
Is this possible?
I suspect it might have something to do with the 'Requirements' function in parameters? But I am not sure how to implement it.

I believe the spreadsheet goal seek method will work the easiest.

Open the file and then go to Tools -> Spreadsheet. When the spreadsheet opens resize the Excel window so that you can see the two views of the beer glass. Now you'll see a series of cells with parameters which you can set to different values to control the 'features' of the glass, as seen in the upper view of the model on the NX display. Ultimately the spreadsheet will determine how tall a glass needs to be to hold whatever amount to enter in the 'Desired Capacity' cell. OK, once you've set your desired values, go to the Excel ribbon and select the 'Add-Ins' tab and then select 'Goal Seek' and then hit OK and you can watch the model update and iterate until the Desired Capacity is achieved.
Anyway, the part file is attached below and it will work with NX 7.5 and newer versions.

I managed to solve my problem using that approach as well.
