Practice exercise

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:06

for this practice.

00:07

We're gonna get started with the supply data set parameter table dot IP T.

00:11

This can be found in a practice subfolder inside of the supplied data set project.

00:16

We want to take a look at manipulating and modifying the design using the parameters

00:20

to do this. We're going to select the FX icon at the top of our screen

00:24

to open up our parameters table.

00:26

We can see that this design has a parameter for width,

00:30

length and wall thickness as well as

00:32

inside and outside filets controlling the design.

00:34

If we take a look at the user parameters, we can see that length width,

00:38

wall thickness values are entered as manual values.

00:42

The inside filet is defined as 0.25 and the outside FT

00:45

is defined by the inside filet plus the wall thickness.

00:49

If we make any changes to these values, for example,

00:51

the wall thickness setting it to 0.25

00:54

this should automatically update the outside

00:57

FT radius value based on the inside

00:60

FT and the wall thickness.

01:01

This ensures that our design has a consistent wall thickness throughout.

01:05

If we manipulate the inside radius value to something larger, say 0.5.

01:09

We can see that the outside value also updates.

01:12

Let's go ahead and set this back to 0.25

01:15

and let's reduce this wall thickness value to something thinner such as 0.1.

01:20

Once again, everything updates properly.

01:22

Let's go ahead and change one more value.

01:24

Setting the 6.25 inch length down to four inches and everything updates properly

01:30

using parameters to drive.

01:32

The design is a great way to ensure that everything updates properly.

01:35

And as well as using things like

01:37

equations and variables inside of those parameters,

01:41

make sure that you do save your design before moving on.
