Extruded boss/base in Solidworks - Cell-by-Cell Formula Trace

Sample Data

This data represents a simple extruded boss/base feature in SolidWorks. The profile area is 50 mm² and the extrusion depth is 10 mm. The volume is calculated by multiplying area by depth.

Cell	Value
A1	Sketch Profile Area (mm^2)
B1	Extrusion Depth (mm)
C1	Volume (mm^3)
A2	50
B2	10
C2	500

Formula Trace

C2 = A2 * B2

Step 1: A2 * B2

Step 2: 50 * 10

1 | Area  | Depth | Volume
2 |  50   |  10   |  

Arrows: A2 and B2 feed into C2 calculation.

Cells A2 and B2 provide the input values for the volume calculation in C2.

Result

    A       B       C
1 | Area  | Depth | Volume
2 |  50   |  10   | 500

The volume cell C2 now shows 500 mm³, the result of the extrusion volume calculation.

The volume of the extruded boss/base is displayed in cell C2 as 500 cubic millimeters.
