CSWP Part Modeling with Equations

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

"Width"@Sketch1

Answer

SolidWorks dimension references follow the format "DimensionName"@FeatureName.

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

IIF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false) is a conditional function that returns different values depending on whether the condition is true or false.

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

Both the dimension reference and the global variable must be enclosed in double quotes in SolidWorks equations.

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

Suppressing a feature suspends its equations; the equations remain intact and re-evaluate when the feature is unsuppressed.

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

sgn(x) returns −1 for negative inputs, 0 for zero, and 1 for positive inputs.
