Create Part Variation

Sometimes it is necessary to construct parts that varry in only in a set of parameters. Its simple good practice to list these parameters in a table row by row
| A | B | C |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 15 mm | with of the part |
| Length | 3 mm | Total length of the part |
| Height | 4,5 mm | Thickness of the material |
| Diameter | =L_1 + L_2 | Diameter of the hole |
Part-Variation now provides an easy way to define a second table. Lets say we have three similar parts "Part-1", "Part-2". So we can specify the varrying parameters ("Width", "Length", "Height", "Diameter ") for each part in a separate line:
| A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|
| Member | Width | Length | Height |
| Part-1 | 12 mm | 30 mm | 2.5mm |
| Part-2 | 16 mm | 35 mm | 3.5 mm |
The two tables are linked via the the names of the parameters.
The two tables can be used when creating a iPart factory to export each variation to STL (e.g. for 3D-prototyping). See the preview on youtube
