Deleting an equation-driven function

Hello

For a short time now, I've been playing with equations to parameterize components, mainly tables (sheet metal + mechanic). The equations allow me to evolve my table model according to the dimensions requested by the customer.

On this model, I have to add reinforcements under the top depending on the length of the table. The starting position as well as the number of repetitions works very well, as long as the length of the table allows for at least 2 reinforcements...

And this is where it gets stuck, if the table is too short to put 2 reinforcements, the equations calculating the number of repetitions come up with a value equal to 1. Now it is this value that is used in my "Linear Repeat" function, I let you imagine the rest... (reconstruction error...). See image: bottom view.

I would like to know if it would be possible, in one way or another, to "remove" the repetition function if the number of repetitions is equal to 1.

Or, activate a config according to the repetition value...

If you have any ideas or better, the solution, I'm all for it!

Thank you

Hello

Yes I use this way of doing things for some of my pieces.

Here's an example of a command.

= IIF ( "LENGTH OVERALL" > 2750 , "unsuppressed" , "suppressed")

may the force be with you.
