Hi,
I have a supplier step part (attached the snapshot), whose mass is showing up to be 2.4839165e+06 KILOGRAM in creo, which is not in real.
This part is used in my radiator assembly, and because of its unreal weight, the mass of the radiator is also showing unreal values. around ~200,000 KG.
Now I would like to over ride the value of its weight and I want to tell mass properties in CREO3.0 to take the over ridden value for calculation of the mass.
Can anyone help me how do I do this pls.

First, in a part this simple, setting the units and density properly should correct it, assuming the geometry accurately represents the physical purchased part.
Secondly, you can explicitly set the mass by going to File > Prepare> Model Properties. In the Model Properties dialog click "Change" next to "Mass Properties". In the Mass Properties dialog change it from "Geometry and Density" to "Geometry and Parameters" and then enter the Mass in the appropriate box.
One thing to keep in mind, however, is that by default Creo will still use the density based mass when a mass properties calculation is done via Analysis > Mass Properties (at least in Creo 2). You'll need to make sure you select "Assigned" in the Mass Properties dialog. It defaults to computed. Any relations that use pro_mp_mass will use the assigned value, however.
