Practice of rule and check

RuleIt is a set of instructions.

The relationship between parameters is controlled. Actions to set a value or a formula to parameters.

Execute rule:input parameter changeupdate of the rule (input feature change).

Manipulates parameters (value or formula) and features.

CheckA check is a set of statements.

Conditions are fulfilled or not.

Does not modify the model.

Rule baseRules and checks Can be made up of rule sets.


Rule


PartBody\Hole.1\Activity = trueif PartBody\Pad.2\FirstLimit\Length <= 40 mm{ PartBody\Hole.1\Diameter = 20 mm} else if PartBody\Pad.2\FirstLimit\Length <= 60 mm{ PartBody\Hole.1\Activity = false} else { PartBody\Hole.1\Diameter = 35 mm}

Rule is fired when parameter value changed


Check


Practice of reaction

Reacts to events on its sources by an action.

Events:Object (creation, deletion, update, etc.)Parameter value changes. Insert/Replace component Object Drag and Drop

The source can be:A selected featureA parameter


Reaction


Optimizing shapeActive application of FEA.

Design optimization procedure proposes values for design parameters in accordance with design goals and considering design limits.

Instead of analysis of a proposed shape.

Specification by the engineer (conditions for design optimization):

Design parameters to be optimized.

Design limits (allowable values):

Allowable ranges of design parameters,

Stress, deformation, natural frequency.

Design goals:

Minimum, maximum, or optimal values of performance parameters

Minimum mass of the part.

Maximum utilization of allowable stress and deformation.
