DEF_DENSITY no longer works in Creo 8

Hi there,

My company updated to Creo 8.0.1.0 some weeks ago. Now it turns out, that the model check test "DEF_DENSITY" does not work anymore in Creo 8.

In Creo 8 every part gets the default material "PTC_SYSTEM_MTRL_PROPS", which has the density of 1.0.

The test DEF_DENSITY should check, if the density is 1.0, but the test passes.

Since we use modelcheck as a gatekeeper for our windchill, there is a pretty chance, that the pdm-system gets filled up with neutron-star-like parts.

Does someone knows a workaround?

ok, I think I found a workaround.

In "checks.mch" I added this line:

PRT_DENSITY YNEW E E E E E

In "constant.mcn" I added the some boundaries for the density:

DENSITY_LOW 0.000001
DENSITY_UPP 0.9

Looks promising for now.

Hi Mat,

I figured I'd post here as well in case other people are searching around for the same thing.
