Business Question

How can we analyze the usage and performance of the Revolved Boss/Base feature in our SolidWorks projects?

Sample Data
Project Feature Count Average Revolve Angle (degrees) Material Volume (cm³) Build Time (minutes)
Alpha 3 180 120.5 45
Beta 5 270 200.0 60
Gamma 2 360 150.3 50
Delta 4 90 100.0 40
Epsilon 1 180 80.7 30
Dashboard Components
  • KPI Card: Total Revolved Boss/Base Features = SUM of Feature Count across all projects = 15
  • KPI Card: Average Revolve Angle = AVERAGE of Average Revolve Angle = (180+270+360+90+180)/5 = 216 degrees
  • KPI Card: Total Material Volume = SUM of Material Volume = 120.5 + 200 + 150.3 + 100 + 80.7 = 651.5 cm³
  • Bar Chart: Revolved Boss/Base Feature Count by Project
    Shows each project's feature count as bars for easy comparison.
  • Line Chart: Build Time vs Material Volume
    Plots build time on Y-axis and material volume on X-axis to see correlation.
  • Table: Detailed Project Data
    Shows all columns from sample data for reference.

Interactivity

A filter allows selecting one or more projects. When a project filter is applied:

  • All KPI cards update to show totals or averages for selected projects only.
  • Bar chart highlights or shows bars only for selected projects.
  • Line chart updates to plot only selected projects' build time and volume.
  • Table filters rows to show only selected projects.

Self Check

Add a filter for Project = 'Beta'. Which components update and what is the Total Revolved Boss/Base Features KPI value?

Answer: All components update. The Total Features KPI shows 5 (Beta's feature count).
