Linear pattern with different part lengths

Question asked by Jeffrey Pardijs on Mar 5, 2014

Hello, i'm trying to make an assembly with around 95 parts with the same cross section but with different lengths.

I want these lengths to be controlled by a boundary. Like in the picture, the thick lines represent the parts and the thin lines the boundary.

I want the only variable to be the normal distance between the parts.

I tried to use a line linear to the part and mating the end points to a profile but this didnt work.

What do i need to do??

Kind regards

No one else has this question

make the part longer than you need. pattern it. trim it with assembly cuts. (assuming you don't need part drawings)

if you need part drawings, you might be able to get there with multi-body part instead of an assembly.

That would be an easy sollution but i don't want the parts to be cut at an angle.

They need to have perpendicular ends. That is what makes this a difficult problem.

Configure it and create a design table. You just need to know how long each piece needs to be.

then I would look at making as a weldment part.
