What is parametric design, let's understand it through practical operation?| SOLIDWORKS How-To Videos

For mechanical design, parametric design is to extract the main parameters in the product, consider the influence of these parameters on other parameters or dimensions in the modeling process, and then modify these main parameters to complete similar productsChanges, improve the reuse rate of the model, thereby improving the design efficiency.

This video brings you the parametric design of the unpowered roller. There are two main techniques:

Tips 1: Pattern-driven component pattern:

Trick 2: Linear array to reference

The key point of the parametric design of this drum is the transfer of parameters. The main parameter is controlled by the total length, and the secondary parameters are controlled in specific parts.The total length of the roller line is the main size parameter, which is controlled in the assembly, and then quoted in the part to calculate other parameters.

Pattern-driven component patterning is a command to reference the parameters of patterned features in a part to an assembly for component patterning. For details, please watch the video below.
