Assembly weight-Journal

[UGMasters]

Hello Team,
is there any Journal available for Assembly weight calculation & CoG.
I tried some posted Journals but no luck,unless I am doing some thing wrong.

Regards
Girish.

Hi
I am getting assembly weight by assigning material or density to individual components. All the weights together are calculated and displayed in the assembly navigator "Weight" column. We need to switch on the "Weight" column.

Good Morning Ram,
cool could you please share the info with me?

Regards
Girish.

Girish,
Assign material or density to each part file and save them. Switch on Weights columns for the Assembly file.
Make sure that 'Update data on save' is switched on for Weight tab of Displayed properties dialog box.
Attached file shows those steps.

Thanks Ram,
We don't have Advanced Assembly License & I wanted to see if there
is any Journal out which can do the the same thing.

Regards
Girish.

Hi Girish,
Please let me know your requirements of a journal.I mean out put of the journal. Example: A text document with Part file name,Weight etc..

Hi Ram,
We have a Journal which adds the weight to the Work part when run,
we want to do this for entire Assembly and output CG values

Regards
Girish

From the image I am not able to understand the actions carried out by the journal. Is it applying density ? or Is it applying material? etc..
for better understanding about the requirement please feel free to contact ramkan8@yahoo.com

Below C# Journal walks thru the assembly structure and update the weight. It also exports CG points in to information window.
In case if the part file is not having solid body , it gives a message saying part has no valid bodies.
