How to create parametric number of instances of same kind in catia and assemble them ?
hello friends
I have to design a parametric compressor that my variables are height of blades, radius of disks (compressor disks can be of different radius values), and the most important parameter is number of compressor disks .
then I 'll design an application that gets these parameters from user and generates excel file. at the end the excel file will be the input for my parametric compressor design in catia.
I want to know if there is a way to duplicate a parametric number of parametric instances (with different dimensions ) and assemble them?
for example user enters 4 (as number of disks) and he enters 20,20,25,27 as radius of 4 disks. my program has to duplicate 4 instances of disks with given radius and assemble them automatically .

Hi,
I've just launched a new course on PARAMETRIC DESIGN in CATIA.
https://www.udemy.com/catia-v5-parametric-design/
It's comprehensive course with multiple examples so if you are interested just give it a try.
You can manage easly the number of blade with reuse pattern parameter if you connect the value into FX calculation.
but when the design has different dimension and numbers same time you need more than this.
You need some "fog" law operations like if and do loops. this is a lot complicated but also possible.
You can fin the fog command under the design table command inside knowledge tool bar.
Check my gear box for some fog calculations. but you need to improve it.
Good luck
