In this design we're going to show you
how you can use parametric design to drive
this assembly. For example here we have two parameters.
Let's modify LA to be 600, and P to be 550. Like that the design updates.
If we modify them again, you'll see that it updates yet again. And that's the whole point of parametric design. It's to give you
freedom to customize to me your customers' requirements.
Now we are going to show you how to drive this assembly using an excel link.
For example, we are going to create three various codes. Maybe you are going to manufacture and sell three different sizes of this grill table.
Well, here we are going to use excel to create those three different sizes. And you can see it's pretty straight forward.
Now, we will show you how it works.
We click on the excel function and you can choose the code that you want to run. And like that,
we update those two driving dimensions automatically based on the information from that excel document. Pretty cool, huh?
There's the 850 x 500 and the 1050 by 600.
Perfect!
So we will save that.
And now let's see how that works when we try to include it in another assembly. So here we have an assembly
of this little house, and we are on the back patio, and we want to include
our grill. So let's include our grill and here it comes up and asks us which code we want to include. So we will choose the 850,
we will locate it,
and like that were done.
And now if you want, we can always just modify it,
and choose a different code.
Whatever your customer wants.
Really, does it get easier than this?
This is yet another example of showing you how to master your manufacturing process with TopSolid.
