Multi-body mass property

Hello

I would like to recover the mass properties of certain bodies on a multi-body part with different material (mass, area, volume) in order to put them on my plane.

To do this, I select the bodies in question. So I have the mass, volume and area.
But I can't get these properties back for my plan.

I have the total mass but it's not that I want.

How do I do this?

Thank you in advance for your feedback,

Kind regards

Hello @tristansnfortin

Can you look at a topic that seems to me to deal with the problem.

Kind regards

Hello
If the old topic @Zozo_mp propose does not solve your request:
Can you give us more details?

  • Is it a multi-body 3D .sldprt or .sldasm format?
  • Where do you want to add mass, volume and area? Cartridge, note?

Have you tried using the sensors? (In the CommandManager Evaluate/Sensor)
Because you have the choice of mass, volume and area.

It's not easy to retrieve sensor data in a property though...

Hello Zozo,

By going through smartproperties, you can do it, but it's room by room.

What I want is the mass of a set of multi-body pieces.
I select the bodies in question in the mass property, I have the weight, volume, and area.
So far, no worries.
Then, in terms of my drawing, I have to manually annotate the properties of all the bodies in question.
I can't copy/paste.

Hi Nicolas,

It is a 3D file in .sldprt format.
I draw a lot in multi-body.
For example, a gate, with a steel frame and wood infill.
For a DDP painting concerning the frame, I need the weight and the surface to be painted of the bodies in question.
Each time I fill in these elements manually.

The best practice for this type of construction would be an assembly with a multibody part for the scrap metal and one or more parts for the wood inserts, screws, handles, etc.
This greatly simplifies the drawing, a plan for the boiler factory, an assembly plan (not necessarily the same person)
And especially for your weights the possibility of drawing the overall weight of the boilermaking part and the surfaces.

Another solution with a VSTA macro:

But for that you need visual studio to compile this macro:

Hello

if it is the data of the 1st plan that are in the following MEP because I think you make several tabs; If so, click on one of the tabs, then properties, then uncheck the box identical to the specific layer... see image and there it should work
