Constraint |
Enter the constraint that the Microsoft Solver Foundation will use during the product model configuration process. |
Condition |
Enter the condition that the Microsoft Solver Foundation will use during the product model configuration process. Note The Condition field is only available when the Expression constraint editor form is opened from the Attributes, BOM lines or the Route operations FastTabs on the Constraint-based product configuration model details form. |
Example
Expression constraints and conditions use arithmetic and Boolean operators and also functions to create the constraint or condition.
This expression uses a simple equal operator ==. For example, a bike must have the same size wheels in the front and the back.
Expression: frontWheel[size] == rearWheel[size]
In this example, frontWheel and rearWheel are the solver names of two subcomponents and size is an attribute of type integer with a fixed range.
