Creating equations and driving a model
For this recipe, you will take an existing model, show the expressions and values already contained within it, and then add and create new equations to facilitate the required changes. The equations that you create will enable you to drive the model (make changes to it with the equations) to the desired outcome.
Getting ready
To complete this recipe, you will need to open the Housing.ipt file from the Chapter 3 folder.
To begin with, we will show the dimensions in the model at present, and then add equations to control the geometry to the desired output.
How to do it…
To begin this recipe, we will first look at what dimensions are present in Housing.ipt and examine the structure of the model. We will then proceed to apply equations. With Housing.ipt open, carry out the following steps:
- Right-click in any space within the Graphics Window and select Dimension | Display | Name. Then, right-click on Extrusion 1 and select...
