Windchill Options an Variants - Use Case Discussion

Hi,

I am checking the feasibility of configuring the below use-cases in Windchill Options module, I am running into road blocks as I am not very familiar with the configurations. Asking for assistance with the same. Thanks.

Use Case 1: There is a multi-select option with choices, let's say C1 (1), C2 (2) and C3 (3). Based on the selection of choices, I want a parameter to be updated with the sum of values from the choices. For example, if C1 and C2 are selected, the parameter should have 3 as value. If nothing is selected, it should have 0 as value.

Use Case 2: There are two options, let's say Opt 1 and Opt 2. I want a parameter to be updated with the least value among Opt 1 and Opt 2.

I tried using Constraint to define expression for Parameters, but I could not see through it. Hence, reaching out for your suggestions.

TIA,

Sha

I think both of these should be possible to implement with Expression-driven parameters:
