Assembly Density

I received an assembly model from a vendor, and it appears they did not assign appropriate densities for the individual parts. I know what the mass of the assembly should be, but can't seem to modify the average density of the assembly to match using the setup dialog.

Is there a way to set the density of all the components in an assembly without opening them individually?

Apologies.

I found the alternate mass parameter section and adjusted the measures in the assembly to use geometry and parameters.

Thanks for looking anyways.
 
for 2001 part
mp_density=WEIGHT/mp_volume("")
Where "weight" is the the measured value
for 2001 asm
WEIGHT=MP_MASS("")


for WF2 part

REPLACE THE "#.##" WITH THE DESIRED WEIGHT.

alt_pro_mp_mass=#.##


mp_density=alt_pro_mp_mass/mp_volume("")

CHANGE THE 'Alternate Mass Properties' "PRO_MP_SOURCE" PARAMETER FROM 'GEOMETRY' TO 'PARAMTERS'
