formulas in variant characterstic

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I am working on a variant configuration scenario. I am using two characteristics 1.X which allows entry in mm & 2.Y which allows entry in inches.

If some value is entered in Y i.e. char in inch, I want to

1. convert the entry in inch to mm automatically.

2. display the same conversion in X i.e. characteristic in mm.

Please send your suggenstions.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ajay

Hi,

This can be very well achieved by the use of Dependencies. No ready made solution for this, as this needs little bit of tihnking and creativity from your side.

You can take Reference Characteristics as the lead to configure your scenario.

The syntax for various dependencies are given below. Hope they are helpful to you

PRECONDITIONS

MODEL EQ u2018RACINGu2019 WHERE

MODEL IS THE CHARACTERISTIC

RACING IS THE VALUE OF THE CHARACTERISTIC

TO ENSURE THAT THE CONDITION IS NOT VIOLATED EVEN WHEN THE VALUE OF THE CHARACTERISTIC IS EMTPY

MODEL EQ u2018RACINGu2019 AND SPECIFIED MODEL

PRECONDITIONS CAN BE ASSIGNED TO CHARACTERISTIC, VALUE OF A CHARACTERISTIC.

SELECTION CONDITIONS

S.Cs CAN BE ASSIGNED TO CHARACTERISTICS, BOMs, PRTs, etc. IT IS UNAMBIGUOUSLY TRUE UNLIKE PRECONDITION.

SYNTAX IS

MODEL EQ u2018RACINGu2019 WHERE

MODEL IS THE CHARACTERISTIC AND RACING IS THE VARIANT

PROCEDURES

THEY ARE USED TO INFER VALUES FOR CHARACTERISTICS. PROCEDURES CAN BE ASSIGNED TO CHARACTERISTIC, VARIANT OF A CHARACTERISTIC, CONFIGURATION PROFILE, BOM AND OPERATION TASK LISTS. PROCEDURES ARE ALWAYS USED FOR PRICING.

SYNTAX OF THE PROCEDURE IS

$SELF. CHARACTERISTIC1 = VARIANT1 IF CHARACTERISTIC2 = VARIANT2

THE VARIABLES ARE SELF EXPLNATORY.

USING PROCEDURES,

DEFAULT VALUES CAN BE SET, CHANGED, DELETED

NEW CALCULATIONS CAN BE MADE

Again, there can be minor differences in syntax based on versions.

Hi

i don't think there is a formala for that what ever charcters you want you have to define in CT04 , these charcters you have assign when you create a material.than only it will pick the charcters value.

i hope you understood

Thanks Regards
