Parameters

Index

0-based index of the new equation (-1 places it at the end of the list)

Equation

String containing the equation (see Remarks)

Solve

True to solve the equation immediately; false otherwise (see Remarks)

Return Value

To add an equation using the SOLIDWORKS user interface, you must embed the names of dimensions and global variables in double quotes:

NOTE: To add an equation using this method, you must specify Equation with the names of dimensions and global variables in double double quotes and the entire equation in double quotes. See the Examples.

If you call this method to add an equation whose left-hand side already exists in another equation, this method returns an error.

Setting the Solve argument to false delays evaluation of this equation, which enhances performance when there are many equations to solve. When Solve is set to false, the equation appears in the FeatureManager design tree only after calling IEquationaMgr::EvaluateAll or IModelDoc2::EditRebuild3.

To add equations to models having multiple configurations created in SOLIDWORKS 2014 or later, use IEquationMgr::Add3 instead of this method.

When you add an equation, you are adding it to the list of relations. Thus, do not add an equation while traversing the equations in a model, because SOLIDWORKS could crash.
