IF I define a Global Variable and use its name in INT() function it returns a wrong number why?
for example if
“Length” = 1005 then
int((“length” – 15)/110) should be 0 right?
but solidworks returns 8? if I use the number instead of the Global Variable it works correctly though!
Unless I'm reading it wrong....or you mistyped
1005-15 = 990
990/110 = 9
No you got it right mate! I think its a matter of different versions.
I am using 2015 SP 1.1. That might be the reason
Hello,
Three requests:
1) Remove the INT() and see what the raw answer is.
2) Add an additional GV to INT() item #1
3) Post a screen shot of your Manage Equations like Mr. MacDonald did.
Cheers,

Hello,
Is the dim for "length" calculated that it's a hair under 1005?
Another test is to multiply your three test GV's by 10,000 to see if SW is doing some odd rounding for the evaluated column.
It shouldn't since you have other results that go out to 5 & 6 decimal places.
A second test is to add .01 to TEST at ("length" -15 + 0.01) to see what the INT() result is.
Lastly, I would send this screenshot to your VAR and ask if it's worth submitting this to SW for investigation and correction.
Cheers,
Kevin
Thanks Kevin this is another screenshot. I used round function to see what happens. I also increased the decimals in document settings, It doesn't seem to be the issue.
Hello,
Thanks for the extra effort.
I think this definitely has to be reported to SW.
Cheers,
Kevin
It definitely should return the value 9
Have you seen this issue with any other calculations?
