volume "parametric"

[valeriob]

hi to all solidworsians I would like to know the procedure that allows me to change a solid or totally closed (a full cube), or emptied (a cube emptied inside), or an empty but missing face (a bowl).
I found myself in front of this question when I had to model a watering machine, a coffee maker, a bowl. If someone knows how to do it, it could make me available to +o- simple examples to download (sw2008) as those I have listed.
I add: but if you want to know the volume contained in a container at various levels (100mm from the base or 50mm from the base) what is the + correct procedure.
Thank you.

elementary: change the odds that generated your solid.
If that's not what you wanted to know, you have to ask a clear question.

but if you want to know the volume contained in a container at various levels (100mm from the base or 50mm from the base) what is the + correct procedure.

I don't know if it's the most correct, but I'm pulling a solid that takes exactly the volume I need to measure. in your case you just need to change the height of the internal volume to the portion that interests you by cutting the upper part with a surface cut using a quotated plane compared to the base of the container. change the size of the plan and the volume changes accordingly, then mix the volume with the mass property tool.

if I have not understood correctly valeriob asks about the use of the command "Shortly", the addirittura esiste (!?) questo command..
@valeriobas usualhelp is the best resource especially for "problems" so simple, consult it. and look good all the menus that answers often have them under the eyes. :mixed:rtfm

Anyway,Shortly find it among the functions of the part; do your "full solid" clikki model on the command and do the required fields in the features manager (first maybe click on "the strange question mark":tongue. If you want to make a "chotola" screen selections the faces you want to "delete", otherwise you don't touch anything and will remain a solid blank all closed. set the thickness you want to assign to the walls and ok.. That's all.

I could change the odds if I had a very simple geometry, but if I had a complicated one like a bottle or a solid emptied with many lofts and rays it is very coplicated. once a sw teacher had made me notice that you could change the geometry of a glass of estatè (and the glass of estatè is not so simple) according to the volume so that the program modified the solid maybe only in height instead of the ø or a ray. Did you want to impress me or is it really possible? Thank you.

depends on how you set the 3d model, and this applies equally to all parametric cads.
you can intervene and re-edit all the odds you have assigned to the features. There are also some recent features that act on the faces, for example move face, to change to flight without worrying too much about the history of the model, however it is always parametric, editable, editable and configurable functions.

the question of valeriob was well hidden in the title, because then from the text there was much more...
He obviously wanted to know how to use the internal volume of a solid as a fixed reference parameter that determines the modification of some quotas of the model. example fix in 100 cc the volume and leave free the diameter of the container and have as dependent the height that changes automatically.
somewhere I had seen an example where with a macro it was automatically written the volume in a cell of the data table and that value changed through the "objective search" function the quotas to be changed leaving the others reversed.

Yes sorry, I was referring to the first part of the question, which is actually quite cryptotic:biggrin:
here you have to read more and more between the lines:smile:

no, here you need the crystal bowl :tongue: or, a more economical alternative as educational, a nice dick when formulating questions so badly exposed that require another 5 or 6 posts of clarification to know what they need

... and who has ears to understand, means:biggrin:

apart from the jokes, the question was wrong, it is true, but the primary goal for me is to keep quiet tones and avoid the most possible flames. I try to be collaborative and not punitive, if not in extreme cases.
even if some user a discussion like this may not please, because little understandable, I only intervene in different cases. After the past experiences I would just like peaceful tones and see people discussing peacefully.

I would do a reset and ask valeriob to try to explain the question better and see if we can help him.

How not to quote..? ! :finger:

I'm still Veleriob. I didn't think I'd make it all up.
I try to reformulate my problem, maybe with an example.
if I have a simple tanic, very simplified (parallelepiped emptied with sp 3mm edges, a threaded hole by an inch, r10 fittings, without handle to simplify), what is, if possible, the procedure to make variable the external geometry (height, width, leaving constant thread) of the solid according to the internal volume? marcof spoke of "research goal", what is it, how does it apply(e.g.?), what are these tables he spoke about?
p.s. My goal is to start geometric change from volume and not as usual from quotas.
I hope to have been + clear of the other time.:bekle:thanks

(cut)

objective search is a function of excel, but you may also use the solutor, which allows you to set a cell of a value by automatically changing others.
as in swx the quotas of the model can be commanded by the data table, which is nothing but a excel sheet, it is evident that you can manipulate the values of the quotas to keep the internal volume constant.
But I am not able to help you with the connection of the volume of a solid in a data table because, I think, you have to work on programming through the swx bees.

What are these tables you talked about?

go to the help to the data table entry.

I thank you for clarifying marcof, although I realized that it is a very complicated thing. strange that sw developers did not realize a megafunction to satisfy this design possibility

 

[Er Presidente]

...developers of sw ... satisfy ...

contradiction in terms!
:biggrin:

It doesn't seem complicated at all, when I used it for the first time I managed without reading an online driving line.

contradiction in terms!
:biggrin:

You think? depends on the needs....and the satisfactions/performances that are expected

I understand that there can be some misunderstanding.
the "sw developers" I meant, are not those of solidworks in particular, but those of the software in general.
I didn't mean to comment on a product I don't know.

My age was ambiguous, and it was more like the "prestations you want" :biggrin: for the rest your comment does not make a grit!:finger:
