Inventor VB Code

[eloge.tounou762649]

Hello
Inventor 18 : the following code that worked up to 2000 liters for “Vi” value.

If Vi = 1000 l Then
TrouHomme = "False"
ElseIf Vi = 2000 l Then
TrouHomme = "True"
End If

But upper than 2000 liters for Vi value (ei 3000 liters), I got the following error message:

« Erreurs de compilation de règles dans Trou d'homme, Cuve_iLogic.ipt
Erreur sur la ligne 3: L'expression constante n'est pas représentable dans le type 'Integer »

Can someone help to solve this problem please?
Best regards

Your error message shows that the variable VI is set as integer. Here lies the problem.

When you want to use 3000 L as a variable, inventor converts that to his internal units for volume as mm^3.
That means 3000L = 3,000,000,000 mm^3. But the variable Integer ranges from –2,147,483,647 to 2,147,438,647.
So 3000L exceeds the maximum value of an Integer. When you change the VI type to Long Integer the problem must be solved.
