calculations with parameters

[AngeloB]

Hello everyone
mechanical use 2010
in the scheme of a crane that I attach, I would like to automate the calculation of pressures in the cylinders by rubbing the parameterity.
and can you use the parametric quotas to perform calculations?

greetings
Angel

in practice would you like to calculate pressure in cylinders when changing the size/positions of the crane?
I believe that an easy escamotage can be to create a geometry (a simple line) with parametric length (a reference bond) obtained from function... I didn't try, but I think it could work. . .
it will not be elegant visually, but I think it can still be practical. . .

the problem is with I cannot use the numerical values of the reference constraints
