Hi all.
I use equations to set up a production, I need to round a rating up to the next 5.
Does anyone have an idea.
Kind regards.
Thank you in advance.
Here is a mathematical method that works for all rounding:
Variables:
- A is the value of rounding
- B varies according to the crossing threshold:
- B=0 --> Lower value
- B=0.5 --> rounded down if less than half a difference and higher if a value greater than half a difference
- B=0.99 --> rounded up
- C is the Value to be rounded
The equation:
- A x integer(B + C / A)
- In your case A = 5 and for the higher value B = 0.99
5 x Whole(0.99+C/5)
which gives in Solidworks equation language: = 5 * int(0.99 + C / 5)
if C=1 --> Result =5
if C=5 --> Result =5
if C=6 --> Result =10
if.....
