CSWP Part Modeling with Equations 2

Question 1

In SolidWorks equations, which syntax correctly references a dimension named 'Width' in a sketch called 'Sketch1'?

Accepted Answer

"Width"@Sketch1

Answer

"Sketch1"@Width

Answer

Width@Sketch1

Answer

Sketch1.Width

Question 2

When you use the IIF() function in a SolidWorks equation, what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Returns one of two values based on a conditional expression

Answer

Imports an external file into the equation editor

Answer

Iterates a loop over dimension values

Answer

Inserts an image reference into the model

Question 3

A global variable 'Thickness' is set to 5mm. Which equation correctly sets feature dimension 'D1@Boss-Extrude1' to three times the thickness?

Accepted Answer

"D1@Boss-Extrude1" = "Thickness" * 3

Answer

"D1@Boss-Extrude1" = Thickness * 3

Answer

D1@Boss-Extrude1 = "Thickness" * 3

Answer

"D1@Boss-Extrude1" = 3 / "Thickness"

Question 4

What happens to an equation-driven dimension when you suppress the feature it belongs to?

Accepted Answer

The equation is suspended but not deleted, and resumes when the feature is unsuppressed

Answer

The equation is permanently deleted

Answer

The equation recalculates using default values

Answer

An error is thrown that requires manual equation removal

Question 5

In the SolidWorks equation editor, the 'sgn()' function returns which values?

Accepted Answer

−1, 0, or 1 depending on whether the argument is negative, zero, or positive

Answer

The sine of an angle in degrees

Answer

The square root of a value

Answer

The absolute value of a number

Question 6

You want an extrusion depth to automatically equal the diameter of a circular sketch. Which equation approach is most direct?

Accepted Answer

Write an equation: "D1@Boss-Extrude1" = "D1@Sketch1" where D1@Sketch1 is the diameter

Answer

Link the depth value to the sketch circle via a design table only

Answer

Use a sensor to detect the diameter and trigger a rebuild

Answer

Export the model to Excel and manually set the relationship

Question 7

Which of the following is a valid reason to use global variables instead of hard-coded numbers directly in equations?

Accepted Answer

Global variables allow a single change to propagate to all equations that reference them

Answer

Global variables compile faster than numeric literals

Answer

Hard-coded numbers are not supported in SolidWorks equations

Answer

Global variables automatically create design tables
