The "Variables" tab makes it possible to group similar factors (number or frequency of operations) in one analysis.
If the quantity and/or frequency changes, only one place has to be changed – the value of the variable concerned.
Variables are always recommended if the number and/or frequency are identical in several lines, in order to reduce the effort when making changes.
Please note: |
Values can be entered as whole numbers or decimals. |
Example:
Variable for screw
Variable "SM6" instead of value "2" in the selected row
The following characters are not permitted for the entry of variables: % _ ' " * ?.
Please note: |
The variables of elements can also be used as formula parameter. For details see Analyzing with Formulas. |
