Gupta65,
Thanks for the reply. I was able to use the assembly visualization and organized the material and total weight columns, then I calculated the percentages using the total weight of the assembly.
Is there a way to determine how much of a certain kind of material is used in a assembly?
For example: If an assembly has X amount of components made of Al, Cu, Stainless steel, and I want to know the percentage of Cu, or Al.
Is there an option in SolidWorks that can show this?
Problem: SLDPRT file keeps changing within assembly because it is being used across multiple SLDASM files.
Example: SLDPRT is a 1" dia. pipe with different lengths. This file is used in different assemblies where the pipe changes lengths. The pipe's length can be selected within the assembly...

Material selection and compatibility for arcing horn design.
More specifically, the use of all Stainless-Steel material, or all Copper material used.
Any standards or codes for designing such electrical components?
