Material assignment and density

Material assignment and density

Hello Group,


I have a question in regard to assigning a material to a part and having the associated density applied during mass properties analysis. When I assign the material the density doesn't change for generating mass property calcuations. How do I get that to apply the corresponding density? I am on WF5 build 50 and do not want to set my config to auto regen mass properties if possible since I rarely need this information. I would prefer not to have to type in the density for each part that the marterial is assigned too. Per the attachment the material is steel, yet the density remains as the default 1.0


Thanks!!

Mark if you select change next to mass properties the new density value will be displayed and then you can select ok.
