Parameter mixup

[mitchell.smith]

Good afternoon,


I have made a spring model that has the relation


MASSE=MP_MASS("")
VOLUMEN=MP_VOLUME("")


the parameter masse value is 0. The drawing sees the mass value, the evaluation of masse sees the right value, but the parameter value still shows 0.00000


Anyone here of this?

You probably have the mass_properties_calculate set to by_request which is the default. Assuming you are using WF5 you need to generate the mass properties from File>Properties>Mass Properties>Generate Report and regenerate the model. You'll need to do this when you make changes to the model and want updated mass properties if you keep the option set to by_request.

Thanks,


A dimensional search revieled thatsomeone renamed a dimension to the same name as the parameter.Which was the issue.

I had the same error - volume always showed up as 0.0000 in parameters, but I could see the correct volume under file>props>mass props. Regen didn't update the parameter.


I deleted the relation and filled in a bogus value in the parameter. I replaced the relation and *poof* the paramter updated with the correct volume.
