To Create an Equation to Define the Height Variable
- In the Feature Modeling Global Variables dialog, click the Equations tab.
-
Click the New icon.
A new row is inserted in the Equation list box, and the equation editor opens (if not, double-click the empty row to open the editor). Below the input field, the editor displays a list of Available Variables that may be used in creating the equation.
- In the input field, type Height=0.5*(.
-
In the Available Variables list, double-click both Length and Width.
They both are inserted into the equation, with a + sign between them.
-
In the equation input field, complete the equation with a closing bracket ).
