1 1 Intrductin t ilgic 1.1 What is ilgic? ilgic is a Design Intelligence Capture Tl Supprting mre types f parameters (string and blean) Define value lists fr parameters. Then redefine value lists autmatically as values are chsen fr each parameter. Enable autmatic errr crrectin and user feedback fr parameter value limitatins and valid value cmbinatins Supprt mre types f equatins (invlving parameters, attributes, features and cmpnents) Cnditinal Equatins (If Then, Else If) Optimizatins and Iteratins (Fr, While and Where Lps) Define and utilize variables f all kinds (nt just parameters) Supprt rule based parameter relatins. Dcument links are nt required. Cyclical References are nt a cncern. 1.2 Abut the ilgic Panel Overview The Inventr ribbn has tw main panels that are cmmnly used in ilgic. The Parameters panel and the ilgic panel The ilgic Panel The ilgic Panel has a set f cmmnly used cmmands yu use while applying ilgic t a mdel. The ilgic Panel has the fllwing cmmands by default: Add rule: The Add Rule cmmand enables yu t add a rule t yur mdel in Inventr. Rule Brwser: The Rule Brwser cmmand shws all rules applied in the current dcument. Event Triggers: The Event Triggers cmmand helps yu enable r disable the rules applicable fr events. itrigger: itrigger is a user parameter yu can use t activate rules manually. It can execute ne r mre rules. ME Intrductin t CAD/CAE Tls Page 1 f 17

Abut ilgic: The Abut ilgic cmmand gives yu the details f the ilgic Extensin.

2 Regenerate All Rules: The Regenerate All Rules cmmand helps yu synchrnize the parameters in the rules with yur mdel. Delete All Rules: The Delete All Rules cmmand deletes all the rules assciated with yur mdel. This is ideally used after cnfiguring the mdel t exprt a sample cnfiguratin. Abut ilgic: The Abut ilgic cmmand gives yu the details f the ilgic Extensin. The ilgic brwser Rules: The Rules tab displays all the rules that have been added t the current Part, Assembly r Drawing dcument. Frms: The Frms tab displays all the custm frms that have been added t the current Part, Assembly r Drawing dcument. Glbal Frms: The Glbal frms tab displays the custm frms that are stred in the Design Data flder related t the prject file and are present in every Part, Assembly r Drawing dcument. NOTE: Glbal frms shuld nly cntain inputs that pertain t every Part, Assembly r Drawing dcument. External Rules: The External Rules tab displays generic rules that apply t a wide array f parts, assemblies r drawings and can be laded n demand. ME Intrductin t CAD/CAE Tls Page 2 f 17

3 The Edit Rule dialg bx Snippets System: The System tab cntains snippets f cde t push int r pull ut system elements. Fr example, the Parameter (Dynamic) snippet under the Parameters snippets, adds the fllwing line t the design space Parameter ("d0") = 1.2 which sets the parameter d0 in the current dcument equal t 1.2. Custm: The Custm tab cntains snippets f cde that the authr f the rule feels will be reusable in ther rules. ilgic Utility Grup Mdel: The Mdel tab reflects exactly what is in the mdel brwser f the dcument t which the rule is being added. This give yu access t add rules abut any Part, Feature, Sheet, Parameter, which appears in the mdel brwser t that dcument. File Tree: Only present when a rule is added t an assembly. The File Tree tab shws all the files that are direct children f the assembly. This give yu access t add rules abut any Part, Feature r Parameter that is a direct descendant a child in the assembly. Files: Only present when a rule is added t an assembly. The Files tab is a list f the file name f all the direct children f the assembly. ME Intrductin t CAD/CAE Tls Page 3 f 17

4 Optins: The Optins tab gives the authr ptins t hw ilgic rules lk as well as hw they behave. Search and Replace: The Search and Replace tab allws the authr t search fr specific strings f text within the active rule and replace them with thers. Wizards: The Wizards tab prvides the authr with wizards t add advanced functinality t an ilgic rule. Cde Editing Space: The design space cnsists f tw (2) cmpnents Cde Text Editing Tlbar Print Page Setup Cut Cpy Paste Und Red Increase Indent Decrease Indent Cmment ut selected lines. Uncmment ut selected lines. Design Space: This is where all the rules will be written. The fllwing list identifies what different clr fnts represent. Strings (Cyan) "This is a string" "The duble qutes indicate the beginning and end f a string." MessageBx.Shw () "Hell Wrld" example Functins (Purple) Simply put, a functin perfrms an actin (des smething) Feature.IsActive iprperties Excel Data Links Etc... Cmments (Gray) The apstrphe (') will make everything t the right a cmment Exclude r disable lines f cde Add cmments t cde t explain what it des in simple English.

Yu can als imprt r exprt parameters frm here. Parameters: This cmmand displays a dialg in which yu can view r edit parameters assciated with yur mdel. Imprt frm XML: With this cmmand yu can use an XML file t cpy the parameters t the dcument. Exprt t XML: This cmmand is used t cpy the parameters frm a dcument t an XML file ME Intrductin t CAD/CAE Tls Page 5 f 17
