Annotation value related to the calculated volume

Hello.
Is it possible to link the text of an annotation with a volume value of a body?
I would like to annotate the volume and why not the mass because I need it all the time.
On the other hand, for the moment, as soon as I change a geometric value of the pile of grain, I have to think about updating the note. Here the 305m3 are no longer relevant.

Good night.

Hello

Is it essential that it be an annotation? Wouldn't sensors do the trick?

Hello

The easiest way is to add the volume information to the welded parts list (since the wheat pile is considered an item on this list).
Then, simply set up the annotation to bind it to the property mapped to the volume.
Result:

Hello. In fact, I don't know the sensors... Maybe it's just as good or better, I don't know for now.
Thank you

Hello

Hmm, let's say it's also good to know the sensors but that @Cyril.f answers your question better :slightly_smiling_face:

So in addition:

Right-click on " Sensors ", then " Add "
addsensor

Choose the object(s) to be evaluated and set an alert if necessary
sensorprop

After validation, the sensor values are visible by deploying " Sensors " in the tree

Thank you for your answers!!

Edit: can we put the mass value in the sensors?

Have a nice day

The sensors are frustrating in that we can't recall them in the equations/custom parameters/annotation... And that's frankly annoying!!

Hello

It depends on the units of the model. For units of mass, at best Kg, the ton does not exist on SW
