Now that you’ve completed all the rules in your assembly, test them to verify that they are all working properly and producing the desired results. Test your rules by changing the current parameter values using the Parameters dialog box, and then examine the model.
-
Open the Parameters dialog box. - Select Key from the Filters drop-down list
to view only the Key parameters defined earlier in this tutorial. - Change the block parameter value from tee to elbow. Then click in some other cell or press Tab to apply the change, and note how the model changes according to the rules.
- Next, change port_a_size to some other value. Since component_type is set to standard, the other two port sizes also change, and the entire manifold size changes.
- As these changes are made, the part_number.xls spreadsheet is also updated. View the spreadsheet in Excel, and validate that the cell values reflect the current state of the model.
Congratulations! You have completed this tutorial.
