Creating Parametrics Versus Intelligent Attachments

Typically in traditional CAD design, when you want to build parts/assemblies that move and size together you would use parameters and constraints. This is a strong capability but can become time consuming especially if you have interchangeable parts or configurable parts. In IRONCAD, there are other methods to achieve a similar approach that can save time and can be used for multiple parts without having to recreate constraints each time a different part is used.

In this blog article video, you will learn the typical process to create a parametric and constrained assembly of a base part and connecting parts. Then we will repeat the process using IronCAD's Smart eBehaviors that makes use of Attachment Points that carry additional intelligent behaviors. These intelligent behaviors can be expanded to work with multiple parts that connect to your base element.

Take a look and explore additional possibilities that can be used in your designs and parametrics. We hope you enjoy the information!
