To Define Varied Parameters for Flexibility
All parameters for a flexible component are available in the Model Tree. When you change the value of a parameter of a flexible component in the Model Tree and the parameter is not already a varied item for that component, you are prompted to add it as a new varied item. When you confirm, it is added as a new row, on-the-fly, to the varied items table. Otherwise the change is rejected.
1. Open an assembly.
2. Choose one of the following items:
A flexible component—Select the component, right-click it in the Model Tree or graphics window, and select Flexible Component > Varied Items. The Varied Items dialog box opens.
A component without defined flexibility—Select the component, right-click it in the Model Tree or graphics window, and choose Flexible Component > Make Flexible. The Component Placement tab opens with the Varied Items dialog box open.
3. Click the Parameters tab. The Select Parameters dialog box opens.
4. Select the parameter to be made flexible.
5. Click Insert Selected. The selected parameter appears in the Parameters list.
6. Enter a new value for the parameter.
7. Click to add another parameter to the list and repeat steps 4 through 6.
