Synchronous technology and parameterization coexist harmoniously in solid edge

There is now a misunderstanding among some people that synchronous modeling is not parameterized. You can have one or the other, but you can't have both. I think that's because many people equate historical modeling with parameterization, while other modeling methods must be different.

In fact, the components that are modeled synchronously are fully parameterized. We do not want to confuse concepts, play word games or use certain terms. For any traditional meaning of parameterization, the components that are modeled synchronously are compliant. Components are controlled by dimensions and set relationships, and dimensions can be controlled by other assignments or equations.

Here's a simple example. This part is synchronous, so it has features, but the features are all collected on the surface and created by sketches, but the sketches don't control anything and they can't do anything. The dimensions are directly related to the three-dimensional geometric model, the red is controlled, and the purple is controlled by the equation.

 

Part of the parametric combination has two sources: a relationship between a user-defined polygon (called a polygon relationship), or a real-time rule relationship that is automatically controlled by a real-time rule set. You can change these settings when you work, but they are designed to help you maintain verticality, concentricity, tangency, parallelism, and other common relationships.

The size of the model can also be obtained from several places. If you define dimensions on a sketch, those dimensions are reflected directly from the sketch to the three-dimensional model. Alternatively, users can apply dimensions by manually selecting the edges. The dimensions produced in the synchronous modeling environment are all driven by PMI dimensions.

thenSolidedgeto indicate the dimensions of different states by color:

Red: Lock or Open, you must explicitly edit the value to make it change.
blue: Unlock, values can be changed by other dimensions or relationships

purple: The dimensions that are controlled by other means are also indicated in purple by the dimensions that are not driven. The dimensions without drive are also controlled.

SolidedgeIt also allows you to use equations to control dimensions. The equation can be entered by using a variable table in a toolbar variable group. The variable table looks like this:

This table is very convenient and has been used in otherCADprogram, I was able to say that it is convenient to enter formulas and to name variables and expose variables to customize the properties. Also, when you do something else, the dialog box will remain open. If you've only used it in the pastSolidedgethat you could be like the otherCAD The user does not appreciate this. It's not sexy, or shiny, or spinning or running a robot, but this dialog is one of the many features that these guys are trying to prove productive.

and, for the more important point of view of this article, the variable table shows you how much you can use parametric functionality to synchronize your modeling. Of course, the parts I use here are very simple, but these ideas can be used to change the size of anything.

so if those who don't know hisCAD system has been one of the users of history trying to tell you that synchronization technology is not parameterized, you can send him over to receive education, or let him sit down and show it to him.

If you want to test some of these ideas on a part that has been edited on a formula, you can download my simple sample from below.
