CSWP Part Modeling with Equations 5

Question 1

A SolidWorks part must have a hole diameter that is always 10% of the bounding box width. The bounding box width is exposed as which type of SolidWorks property?

Accepted Answer

A system-defined mass property (e.g., 'SW-Bounding box width')

Answer

SolidWorks provides built-in system properties like 'SW-Bounding box width' that can be referenced in equations or custom properties.

Question 2

Which of the following correctly describes a 'linked value' in a SolidWorks sketch?

Accepted Answer

A named sketch dimension that shares its value with other dimensions bearing the same name, acting like a local variable

Answer

Linked values let you name a sketch dimension so that all sketch dimensions sharing that name stay equal, functioning as a local parametric variable within the sketch.

Question 3

You are building a parametric fastener library in SolidWorks. Which combination of tools best supports fully equation-driven configurations?

Accepted Answer

Design tables + global variables + equations

Answer

Design tables define configuration-specific values, global variables centralize key parameters, and equations propagate those parameters throughout the model geometry.

Question 4

In SolidWorks equations, what is the effect of placing a comment using the single-quote (') character?

Accepted Answer

Everything after the single quote on that line is treated as a comment and ignored by the solver

Answer

In the SolidWorks equation editor, a single quote (') starts an inline comment; the solver ignores all text following it on the same line.

Question 5

When exporting SolidWorks equations to a text file, which file extension is typically used?

Accepted Answer

.eqn

Answer

SolidWorks saves exported equation files with the .eqn extension, which can later be imported into other parts or assemblies.
