![]() Sketches and manually editing them every time we want to make a change.įor example, if I want to change the number It sure as heck beats opening up different Will update to reflect those changes on rebuild. Parameter we wish to change and do so, safe in the knowledge that the model From this panel, we can literally just find a You will notice that not onlyĪre the sketch entities in the table, but the boss extrusion feature dimensionsĮven though our model is still relativelyĭumb, you can automatically see the value of having all of your dimensionsĬollected in one place like this. Sketch (and solid) will respond to that change. ![]() Īt this point, if we click on any populatedįield in the Value/Equation column, we can change the value in that field. New window pop up, titled Equations, Global Variables and Dimensions. On clicking Equations, you should notice a Start by looking at how to input dimensions and equations. Take a look at how to drive sketch geometry with equations. For both cases, they work in a similar manner. Look at designing a basic shower head, and we will link the dimensions to a setĮquations can be used to drive both sketch Various design options without having to manually redesign your model each time You canĮven define the value for pressure at the inlet and have the outlet diameterĬhange when you rebuild the model. Maybe you would like your nozzle outlet to have aĭiameter that changes with regard to a specific inlet diameter or even some That change depending on specific geometric characteristics. Useful in engineering, as many systems rely on ratios and dynamic relationships ![]() Thankfully, by using SOLIDWORKS’ equationĬapabilities, it is possible to fully define your sketch and model geometry andĮstablish relationships and constraints through equations. But as soon as you start changing those features, everything you’veĭone up to that point can potentially go right out of the window. Designing things on the fly can be fun and
