Variable length

jatinzaverbhai.mandani
Hello everyone,
 
Some help please because I'm running out of ideas.
 
So, I have two markers / construction frames : first one has a fix location, but the second one is dependent by the first marker.
 
There is a relationship between markers: the 2nd one moves along the axis of the 1st one, only after the distance (DM) between them drops under a certain length.
 
So far I've tried with IF function and with VARVAL... but no success.
 
Examples :
marker_2 = (LOC_RELATIVE_TO({0.0, 0.0, (IF(....))}, marker_1) or
marker_2 = (LOC_RELATIVE_TO({0.0, 0.0, (VARVAL(....))}, marker_1)
 
 
 
How can I integrate a run-time variable into a marker definition ?
 
 
 
 
Thank you very much!

    Thank you to both of you, Henrik and JSlat !
     
    The main idea is that I want to recreate a bump-stop element for my ACar model.
     
    My client does not really understand these concepts like free length, clearance, and compressed length (at the end of Jounce).
    It looks like the client does not get the bump-stop representation from ADAMS Car Sweat smile
    Then, I took the decision to have a graphical representation (a revolution geometry) of the bump-stop.
    It would be much easier for me to explain to the client how this bump-stop does work during the wheel travel.
     
    Now : I would like this revolution geometry to vary in height during the jounce movement.
    Of course, this bump-stop behaves acc. to a spline (deflation vs. force).
     
    In my measurement I used functions like IF and VARVAL and ADAMS returns excellent results for the bump-stop.
     
    Do you think is it possible to vary the height / length of a revolution geometry ? I mean in real time during the jounce.
     
     
    Many thanks! I look forward to your suggestions.
