A common challenge in parametric modeling is maintaining a constant wall thickness when changing the outside diameter (OD) of a cylinder. By default, SpaceClaim does not provide direct equation-based parameter linking between dimensions such as OD and inside diameter (ID).

In this video, we show a simple and robust scripting approach that allows you to link the inner and outer diameters, so modifying a single parameter automatically updates the geometry while preserving the wall thickness.

This method is especially useful for:

Parametric studies

CFD geometry preparation

Design optimization workflows

Reusable and robust CAD models
