assembly mass update

[ram_proe]

Dear all,


I have done no. of parts of same material and assmbled and now I have to update mass of assy so that mass of all parts to be updated.


can I change the densityof parts and update itin assy.

 

[Israr]

yes, you can change density by Edit-->setup--->massprop


then assign density and generate report.

thanku sir,


but Ihave to give density from assy file.


I have many parts,I cannot change each part's density in part file.


is there any method to change density of all parts in assy.


thanks in advanse

 

[Isair]

You can't add density in asm file, because asm is consider to be build for components that have density.
I don't think you can change density of all parts at once, so you must open all parts, and change density manually.


Or you could create parameter CUSTOM_MASS, and parameter CUSTOM_DENSITY, put them in relation, use Volume parameter from analysis feature and calculate your massin your asm. This is work around but correct way is to change density in all parts, but if you don't have time to do that you might try with suggested method.

thank u sir.

if you need this only for this assembly or for drawing, the way that Isair wrote(with these parameters for example)is enough


but if Your assembly will be used in another assembly as a component, well than Your assembly will has its original value of masswhich is count from components, so than You have to change these components material properties

dear Isair,


I have tried to give custom_mass and vol. but not succeded.


plz could u explain how to give relation for custom mass update.


thank u in adv.
