Modifying variables

- Now, that our Equation Driven Gear is complete, we can test it by changing a few of our variables, so let's open up the Tools, Equations Window, and we're going to change our Module to be two, and we're going to change our Module to be two, our Bore, we'll keep at 10 millimeters, and our Number of Teeth, we will change to 60. Now, we see here as we change our variables, the gears updating dynamically in the background, we close out the equations window, we see that everything appears to be operating correctly, without any errors in our feature three. This ability to quickly modify the gears geometry is a major benefit to equation driven design intent with the modification of a few variables. The model can be completely changed without having to do any major rework. Let's now change our variables to make the gear smaller. We'll open up the Equations Window again, and set the Module to be 0.5 millimeters, and set the Module…
