Please follow the below steps to achieve the required result –
Step 1:
Open the CATIA Part named Bolt.CATPART.
Step 2:
Make sure that you are on Part design Workbench.
Select Tools | Options | Infrastructure | Part Infrastructure | Display. Activate Parameters, Relations to Display in Specification Tree.
Step 3:
Select Tools | Formula or Select Knowledge Toolbar > select Formula.
Step 4:
Select New Parameter of Type to add new parameter, select Length as type, Enter name as Bolt_Dia, Value as 50mm
Click Ok.
Step 5:
To add Relations, Select Sketch1 in the specification Tree. Right click on the Dimension as Shown select Rename Parmeter.
Enter Parameter name as Hex_length, Right click on the value select Edit Formula.
Edit formula as Bolt_Dia*1.2 and Click Ok to create Relation.
Notice that Formula.1 has been created and displayed in the specification tree.
Step 6:
Click on Update icon to update the parameter value.
Step 7:
Similarly change the name for remaining parameters and adding formulas.
For Pad.1 rename as Pad, Formula as 0.7*Bolt_Dia
Step 8:
Click on Sketch.4 under Shaft.1, Right click on the Dimension Rename Parameter as shown below.
Rename as Bolt_Radii, Edit the formula, Enter Bolt_Radii= Bolt_Dia/2. Click Ok to display in Specification Tree.
Similarly,
Rename length as Shank_Length, Edit the formula, Enter Shank_length=(Bolt_Dia+10mm)*3. Click Ok to display in Specification Tree.
Step 9:
Click on Update icon to update the parameter value.
Step 10:
Change the Value of the Parameter Bolt_Dia according to that parametric model will be Updated.
