Mass Report

Is there a way to show in a report the mass of all the components that make up an assembly. I can only seem to do this for all the top level components of the assembly. It doesn't break down into the sub-assembly's.


Thanks in advance,


HB
 
I'd love to know this too. I just didn't think it was possible. Don't know about hbarker but I use ProE Wildfire2.
 
hello,


in ProE2001 in <drive:\><Proe_path>\html\usascii\proe\aspro\pro _repo.htm you have listed the PRO/REPORT Parameters for Pro/PROCESS for ASSEMBLY. Perhaps that can be a start for an idea...

Do you guys want to show the report on the dwg as well? becuase this is possible to acomplish, but it take a lot of time and hard work. Sence I'm old school that's the only way I know how to do it. first you write the relation to each single part make you sure you assign the mat. with density run the model analysis/goemetry & parameter. then write the relation mass=&mp_mass(") the add the parameter as a real num. and check designate. Run once agian the analysisi to make sure it shows in the param. after this is done go to the dwg. insert a note type mass=&mass lb enter and should show the results. repeate the process to each part and dwg. on the sub-as is the same process. for the dwg repeate reg. table just add another column as asbly/member/user define/mass. In the last images is deferents but same concept. Just remember this has to be done to every part.sub-as, I mean every thing. And ifI missundertood the post i opologize.

In WF2 and beyond, using relations is no longer a requirement...


just switch to using the new system mass-property parameters. These can be shown in the Model Tree also which makes investigating them easier.


pro_mp_mass
pro_mp_density
etc.


These can be updated(refreshed) in two ways:


1. Edit / Setup / Mass Props / Generate Report
or
2. use the mass_property_calculate config option for automatic calculation after regens


Note: The 'old' method of using Analysis / Mass Props will still recalculate the mass-property values, but will NOT update the system parameters.

I needed that, Now I'll have more time to spare.
