Multiple identical driven assemblies in an assembly

Hi everyone

 

Looking for some advice, i have been working on an iLogic panel (two interlocking sheet metal trays)

 

I have gotten the panel to work fairly well. The original idea for the panel was that we could populate an enclosure with these panels just by adjusting the height and width using a form; to increase the modelling speed.

 

Now that I have finished, I have come to the conclusion that it will be hard to get this to work in practice.  Each panel would be a bespoke size, so I would have to have multiple instances of the driven panel assembly within the main assembly. 

Obviously now I realise all of the panels would link together and would have the original file names written in the ilogic code.

 

Would I need to copy design every iteration? and then also change all of the ilogic code.

Or is there a way of saving a whole new panel assembly using ilogic that would update the code?

 

Thanks

It is not entirely clear to me what the situation is, but as far as i understand;

 

- You have multiple instances subassembly (B) inside your main assembly (A), so lets say (B1) and (B2)

- Your want to adjust parameters of subassemblies (B1) and (B2) inside your main assembly (A), but the parameters are not the same for (B1) and (B2)

 

Is this correct? If so, do you have a set amount of subassemblies inside your main assembly?

It is a steel frame with multiple panels around the periphery and roof. So as you say my main assembly is 'A'

then there would be many different panels (some identical) eg.

B1,B1,B1

B2

B3

B4,B4

B5,B5,B5

B6

and so on.

 

The assembly 'A' is completely bespoke so the number of panels always varies.

Alright, I think if you ask slightly more specific questions and show some code there's better chances to get a helpfull answer. Right now i only understand the main concept of what you are doing.
