WF2, M220
So, here's the deal. I've got an entire library of old parts, many going back to release 20 or even older, that don't have our current WF2 relations. In addition, I think some have force based units and some mass based. I need to get a weight roll up and CG check on an assy, and I've started going in fixing them one by one. Ugh.
There's got to be a better way, right?
Something tells me that model check can do this. Well, I know it can do the relations bit, can it do the units? My question is can I set this up relatively easily? Last time I looked at MC, it looked real painful and the documentation was sketchy at best.
Here's the rub. On the relations, pre-WF we has a series of relations that set mass prop values to model parameters. With the new pre & post regen relations in WF, we updated our start parts to take advantage of that. What I'd like to do is remove the old MP relations and replace with the new, but there may be part specific relations that need to stay. Can MC handle that?
On units, I'd really just like a report of the units so I can verify what part is set what way so I can correct if needed. How possible is that?
I'm thinking that this is going to be harder than it's worth and I'll be banging my head against this, updating the parts & assys one by one. Sigh.
If anyone has some insight, please let me know.
Thanks.
