Assembly mass properties

Assembly mass properties

Hi,

I have a purchased motor assembly that I know the weight (measured) and volume of (thru proe). I created a dummy material with the density equal to the weight / volume. After I assign the material to this assembly I don't get the correct value in the mass property analysis.

My ultimate goal is to get the weight of the upper level assembly that this part is used in.

Can someone set me straight?

Thanks - Mike

I had a few replies.

The one I ran with was to create a shrink-wrap part and assign it the density that I calculated from the weight/ Volume info that I had. I assigned it to the shrink-wrapped part. Exactly what I was trying to do.

Thanks all
