Setting up Unit Value

Use measurement results of the unit that has been set up in the currently edited scene to calculate.
Tapping [Icon] displays the unit No. and name that have been set up in the currently displayed scene.
Please select the unit, and Expression items from sub-menus.
  1. Tap [Icon] and select a unit name.
    Setting Expression windowFunction Button Area
    The available sub-menus in this unit will be displayed.
  2. Tap the sub-menu.
    Setting Expression window
    Its contents will be mapped in the "Expression display" area.

Note
  • The sub-menu varies depending on the unit to be selected. For more information, see [When Using Measurement Results Externally], [Value Available in Expression].

Setting up Numeric Number/Operator

Any value and operator can be entered.
  1. Tap the numeric number button or operator button.
    Setting Expression window
    Its contents will be mapped in the "Expression display" area. The value range that can be set up is within -999999999.9999 to 999999999.9999.

Setting up Function

Set up Expression function.
Display/hide the "Function button" area by tapping [Func].
  1. Tap the desired function button.
    Setting Expression window
    The selected function will be displayed in the "Expression display" area.
    The cursor will move behind the selected function.
    Table: Function List
    Function
    Description
    SIN (equation)
    MAX (Operand1, Operand2)
    Angle in [degree].
    COS (equation)
    MAX (Operand1, Operand2)
    Angle in [degree].
    ATAN (Y-axis component, X-axis component)
    Calculates the arc tangent of Y axis component/X axis component.
    The result will be returned in arc within -πtoπ.
    (Example)
    When calculating the Angle produced by the horizontal line and the straight line that joins the gravity of zone 0 and zone 1
    ATAN (R1.Y-R0.Y, R1.X-R0.X)
    When both operands equal 0, the result 0 will be returned. And NG will be displayed.
    AND (Operand 1, Operand 2)
    Calculates the logical product.
    When one of two operands equals 0, the result 0 will be returned. For the rest part, -1 will be returned.
    OR (Operand 1, Operand 2)
    Calculates the logical OR.
    When both operands equal 0, the result 0 will be returned. For the rest part, -1 will be returned.
    NOT (operand)
    Calculates the logical NOT.
    When the operands equal 0, the result -1 will be returned. For the rest part, 0 will be returned.
    ABS (operand)
    Calculates the absolute value.
    MAX (Operand 1, Operand 2)
    The larger of two operands will be returned.
    MIN (Operand 1, Operand 2)
    The smaller of two operands will be returned.
    ATGL (Y-axis component, X-axis component)
    Calculates the angle made by the straight line that connects two points (center of gravity/center of a model).
    Calculates the Angle against the horizontal line. The result will be returned within -180 to 180.
    Illustration of Function(ANGL)
    MOD (divisor, dividend)
    Calculates the remainder when dividing the dividend with the divisor.
    To calculate the remainder, first circle off a decimal, if this is the case, to a whole number then calculate. The result is the integer remainder after division of dividend by an integer divisor.
    (Example)
    MOD (13.4) ... ...... Result: 1 (the remainder when dividing 13 by 4)
    MOD (25.68,6.99 ) ... Result: 5 (the remainder when dividing 26 by 7)
    SQRT (operand)
    Calculates the square root.
    When the operand is a minus, the function returns 0. And NG will be displayed.
    DIST (X-Coordinate of first point, Y-Coordinate of first point, X-Coordinate of second point, Y-Coordinate of second point)
    Calculates the distance between two points (center of gravity/center of a model).
    Illustration of Function(DIST)
  2. Set up the operand (mandatory).
    "(" /")", ",", etc, can be input by tapping the button in the "General button" area.
    When you use other unit value as the operand
    Select and set up from the "Unit" area.
    Setting up Unit Value
    When you manually input value to the operand
    Tap the digits button and set up.
