Produce a range of geometric configurations, involving the width of the model components, to facilitate weight optimization. First, expose model parameters for use as simulation parameters.
- In the Simulation browser, expand the Robot Base.iam node to expose the components in the assembly. Right-click base_plate:1 and click Show Parameters.
- In the Select Parameters dialog box, select the check box next to the MemberWidth parameter to include the parameter in the parametric table.
- Click OK.
Define the parameter range.
- On the ribbon bar, Manage panel, click Parametric Table
. - In the Parameters section, base_plate.ipt row, for the MemberWidth parameter, enter 1-2 in the Values cell. Press Enter to update the row contents.
Once the parameter is defined, generate the parametric configurations.
- In the Parameters section, right-click the MemberWidth row and select Generate All Configurations.
- After the configurations are generated, you can view them using the Current Value slider.
