Displaying deformable parts such as suspensions, bellows and springs in mechanisms like a clamp is a common requirement in assembly modeling. With other CAD systems, users are compelled to create multiple parts with the required lengths of the variations, store them separately, and use discrete parts as per the need of the target assembly. Solid Edge with synchronous technology allows you to design a part with a specified variable as driving, which makes the part adjustable. Check out this tutor

The Variable Table in Solid Edge sports a familiar spreadsheet layout and can be used to define and edit functional relationships between the variables and dimensions of a design. Using the variable table also allows you to link values from an Excel spreadsheet to your model dimensions, by just copying and pasting. Check out this new Tips and Tricks video to learn how to use Excel and the Variable Table to drive CAD dimensions in Solid Edge. | Designcenter Solid Edge
