Writing iLogic Code For Patterns

[ASchlaack]

I have a part I need to pattern but the number of times it is patterned is related to a length parameter...

If <= 60 in then don't pattern

If 60>X>=120 in then pattern twice

If 120>X>=180 in then pattern three times

If 180>X>=240 in then pattern four times

That's what I need to do using the rule... how would this rule be written?

****ADDED****
The length on the part I'm patterning also needs to be controlled...

If <= 60 in then don't pattern AND length = X-6
If 60>X>=120 in then pattern twice AND length = X-9
If 120>X>=180 in then pattern three times AND length = X-12
If 180>X>=240 in then pattern four times AND length = X-15

Does this code do it? 

''' Things you'll need. 
''' (3) parameters
''' ----------------------------------------------
''' --	Parameter Name -- Type   -- Unit ---------
''' ----------------------------------------------
''' -- someLength      -- Number -- in	 ---------
''' -- finalLength     -- Number -- in	 ---------
''' -- someQty	       -- Number -- ul	 ---------
''' ----------------------------------------------

''' Create the above parameters in your model.
''' The code below should do what you're after. 
''' change the value of 'someLength' to see
''' the changes to your finalLength and Qty!

finalLength = someLength - 6.0
Select Case finalLength

	Case <=60 
		someQty = 1
	Case > 60, <= 120
		someQty = 2 
	Case > 120, <= 180
		someQty = 3
	Case > 180, <= 240 'So there is nothing after 240? 
		someQty = 4
	Case Else
		someQty = 1 '??? Whatever value you want. 
End Select

I do believe this code wil work, however I didn't end up using it. I was able to write another that worked. Thank you.

If LENGTH <= 60 in Then
		GUARD_PATTERN = 1 ul
		Parameter("15-1-0000 - GUARD_HOLDER:1", "WIDTH") = LENGTH-6.5 in
	End If
	
If LENGTH > 60 And LENGTH <= 120 in Then
		GUARD_PATTERN = 2 ul
		Parameter("15-1-0000 - GUARD_HOLDER:1", "WIDTH") = (LENGTH-10 in)/2
	End If
	
If LENGTH > 120 And LENGTH <= 180 in Then
		GUARD_PATTERN = 3 ul
		Parameter("15-1-0000 - GUARD_HOLDER:1", "WIDTH") = (LENGTH-13.5 in)/3
	End If
	
If LENGTH > 180 And LENGTH <= 240 in Then
		GUARD_PATTERN = 4 ul
		Parameter("15-1-0000 - GUARD_HOLDER:1", "WIDTH") = (LENGTH-17 in)/4
	End If
