calculate mass property

[bboxster73]

I can calculate the mass property in the model 3D, but when trying to do this in drawing, it doesn't work. how can i do??
thanks

If you want to show the mass in a drawing, I guess for this you need to calculate the mass in drawing, create a relation in part or assembly like weight=mp_mass("") and then in drawing write &weight.

Yes, right!
but i have meaned other way..for mass property calculating i use "Analysis/Model/Mass property"
So when i use this way in the model 3D it works, and when doing it in drawing doesn't.

Of course it doesn't. The drawing is just a 2d drawing sort of speak. "You can't calculate the mass for a drawing". When you need a mass calculation, open the model and make one, then if you want to show it in drawing follow the steps I wrote above.

There is parameter PRO_MP_MASS that is updated everytime you regenarate your model. You can recall data from that parameter by writting &pro_mp_mass in table cell or a note.


To make ProEcalculate mass and write it to pro_mp_massyou shouldgo to Edit>Setup>Mass Props andchoose "Geometry and Parameters" instead of "Geometry". ProE will calculate mass based on density and volume of your model. Density can be set in same dialog box or you can let ProEread density from material data if you assigned material to your model.
