How do you set up an assembly with equations?

Hi all

I'm currently trying to assemble a window frame and I'd like to set (on the same configuration) whether or not to activate a transom, with configurations I know that activating or not a part would be easier, but I'd like to save myself a countless number of configurations...

And even more push, I would like with an equation (and a repetition function) to add crosses to the number I want.

Could you enlighten me? Thanks in advance!

P.S: CatiaV5 is better for that, but I don't have the license where I am

Hello

For there to be a crossbar or not, I don't know any other way than the configuration (1 with crossbar and 1 without). For repetition you can control it in your equations. You can even add a sensor that will tell you if you are missing sleepers (according to the maximum acceptable size between sleepers for example) or even that the number of sleepers is calculated automatically
