System Control Overview | Statement List
This section covers the GRIP statements used to perform some of the mathematical operations which are defined in NX.
The mathematical function statements have been grouped into arithmetic and trigonometric sections. The statements used with expressions are listed first, the arithmetic statements are second, and the trigonometric statements are third.
The expression statements allow you to store values in and retrieve values from expressions.
The arithmetic statements define a mathematical operation followed by an argument or list of arguments upon which the operation is performed. These arguments may be expressed in terms of numerical constants and/or arithmetic expressions.
These type of statements always returns a value. Therefore, it must be set equal to a numerical variable. For example:
Numerical Variable=Statement(argument)
This is the same format that must be used when creating expressions in NX.
The trigonometric statements perform common calculations on right triangles which are regularly used in geometric construction. These functions require an argument which may be an angle or the ratio between angles. These arguments may be expressed in terms of numerical constants and/or arithmetic expressions.
