Hello world
How I can know the volume of a hopper (see attached part) using Solidworks
Thank you
hopper.sldprt
hopper.sldprt
Here, the "rule" is to put a title and then in the box below to put the text of the question, starting with Hello, specifying what has been attempted.
The work will not be done for you...

Thank you
Hello
The easiest way is to generate the volume filling the hopper (without merging it with the rest).
To do this, you can use the surface functions (surface offset by 0 / flat surface / sew and form a volume).
By selecting only this volume, with the Evaluate/Mass Property tool, you will have the information you are looking for.

The hopper has no thickness
it is only a surface
So to know a real volume you must at least know the thickness of the sheet metal

1 hopper

Hello
You can create a volume using your surface. You'll be in multiplayer mode: Surface + Volume.
Then you measure your volume, then you turn it off to continue working only with your surface.
