Help! Biesse Rover A smart Formula Codes.

[H2custom]

I have a problem with inputting a formula into Bsolid that keeps crashing the software.
I need to input TANGENT (TAN) also PI() but the software doesn't know it, Is there a way to do this, am I missing something. I can get my formula to work perfect in Excel (see EG)

This is what I'm trying to achieve
50*TAN(45*PI()/180) = 50

I cant input PI() into Bsolid so I have to do it as 3.1415926536 as that is what it is PI=3.1415926536

My formula in Bsolid is this but it gives me the wrong answer as its doesn't know what TAN is
50*(45*3.1415926536/180) = 39.26990817

Im also after any other helpful codes for SIN, COS, SQRT
Also is there a way to reference tooling DIA into a program so when a cutter starts to get a little worn i can change the DIA of the tool in tooling and it will change it in all the programs that use that tool. EG: (LPZ- Tooling(10mm_CUTTER))/2

Thanks all for any help

Not sure on the upper end geometric functions in Solid, but all previous Biesse controls allowed their use so I think it may just be getting the correct syntax. Changing the diameter within the tooling tables provides for cutter compensation adjustment.

PI is not available in bSolid, what you can do is to use the VARIABLES window and create the Variable PI=3.1415.. and set is as GLOBAL.
