Hi,
I set steel material to a component.
I insert this component in the assembly.
I create a wave body link.
I add feature.
I set steel material to the body.
I saved the assembly and now I see double weight.
Why ?
I attach a picture to understand.

Thank you

Good attachment Simon.

I have only one other thought that may help.

Some of this may or may not relate to where you're linking to and from, since you can pretty much wave link from anywhere in the assembly. Maybe we've fallen into assuming that the component being wave linked from is loaded directly into that where the link is being made, as per Simon's example. In that case I believe it would work as he described. Other scenarios may involve wanting to suppress the component at the specific level where the link is being made but not at other levels. If your assembly structure is different or more complex than the one which Simon has shown then perhaps you really ought to send in similar images for us to comment on in order that we may identify and help you correct any such errors. Otherwise we're only guessing as to why you seem to be struggling labouring under the suspicion that it could be any number of things.

Mind you it might just be that case that you arrive at the classic example where it is simpler to use promotions. It is usually something like a weldment!

Best Regards

Hi JCBCad,
it's true....Structure Manager the new PSE name in TeamCenter show the part if is suppressed, but I use the part list in the specification and the part list doesn't show the part suppressed.

Thank you...
