In Inventor, you can use iLogic to standardize and automate design processes and configure your virtual products.
00:11
In this tutorial, you edit iLogic rules to configure a wheel assembly.
00:17
To start, from the Quick Access Toolbar, click Projects.
00:21
In the Projects dialog, click Browse, navigate to where the project files are saved and select Wheel Assembly start data set.ipj,
00:31
and then click Open.
00:33
In the Projects dialog, click Done.
00:37
From the Quick Access Toolbar, click Open.
00:41
Select WheelAssembly.iam, and then click Open.
00:46
You can now activate the iLogic Browser.
00:50
On the ribbon, the Manage tab, iLogic panel, select iLogic Browser.
00:56
Notice that a few rules have already been created in the iLogic Browser.
01:02
You can edit these rules, but first, add a new parameter.
01:07
On the ribbon, Manage tab, Manage panel, select Parameters.
01:14
In the Parameters dialog, from the Add drop-down, select Add True/False.
01:22
Name the parameter “Slot”, and then set the Equation to False.
01:28
Enable the Key option to set this to be a Key Parameter.
01:33
Click Done.
01:36
In the iLogic Browser, double-click the WheelConfig rule to edit it.
01:41
In the Edit window, click below the ‘Slot? Note, line 8, to begin defining a new rule.
01:49
This rule will add a slot feature option for the wheel spokes.
01:52
In the Snippets pane, on the System tab, expand the Features folder, and then double-click IsActive to add the logic to the window.
02:02
You can add information to this snippet.
02:06
Copy the wheelOcc definition from the existing snippet, and then paste it in line with the new snippet,
02:13
ensuring a comma and space are used to separate the text.
02:17
Highlight the featurename text, and in the Model tab, expand the wheel part entry and in the features list, select the SpokeSlot feature.
02:30
To the right, select the Names tab, and then double-click SpokeSlot to ensure the correct reference is inserted.
02:38
Add an equal sign (=) to the end of the snippet text.
02:43
From the Model tab, select User Parameters, to the right, select the Parameters tab.
02:54
From the Parameters tab, double-click the Slot parameter to insert it.
02:59
Click Save, and then Close to complete the rule edit and close the dialog.
03:05
Next, In the iLogic Browser, double-click the PricingRule rule to edit it.
03:12
Place your cursor at the beginning of the Edit window, and then insert the start of an if-then statement by selecting it from the drop-down.
03:23
Double-click to Hhighlight the My_Expression logic.
03:28
From the Model tab, select User Parameters, and then from the Parameters tab, double-click the Slot parameter to replace the definition.
03:37
Update the If statement by typing =True after the parameter.
03:46
Move your cursor to the end of the string, press ENTER, and type SlotPrice = 75 to start the Then statement.
03:58
Press ENTER, and then type Else.
04:03
Press ENTER again, and type SlotPrice = 0.
04:11
Finish the rule by inserting the text SlotPrice into the price definition, so that it reads as:
04:18
WheelPriceValue = WheelSizePrice+SlotPrice+SpokePrice.
04:26
Click Save then Close to complete the rule and exit the dialog.
04:31
Save your project.
