I'm trying to model in in Solidworks, and I can't figure out how to enter the equation. Sadly, the explanation given in the thread was too sparse for a Solidworks novice like myself, and I've spent a very frustrating 4 hours searching the web without enlightenment. Could some kind soul give me some pointers? Ideally, a screen shot of the Solidworks Equation box?

I don't have Solidworks on this computer, but this may help you.
