Question

Alternative Material in Mechanism Analysis

I would like to know how to bring the Alternative Mass properties from Assemble to Creo Mechanism

 

I'll put an image to simplify.

 

I will provide the context for why this is the case: I have an assembly with several parts that have the standard density, but I know the total weight of the assembly. In config pro I have already requested to calculate the moment of inertia according to the geometry, the image is also attached.

Assign alternate in the body.

Then mechanism by default uses whatever is active in the part, however you can override.

If you are not using the MDO license, mass factor is not allowed in mechanism.
