Hi, I'd like to use various surface area values to drive other equations in a part model. Would be helpful rather than to copy paste values every time there is a design change. May also apply to using the volume of a part or body to drive other variables. Cheers
I think you can only achieve this by using a macro-feature. You can google "solidworks macro feature example" for inspiration.
I probably would create a global variable to the area/volume, let the macro feature get the value and assign this to the variable and use a formula - or perhaps "link value" to pass the value to subsequent features.
Not an easy task but probably very satisfying if you succeed.
