HOW to read/write in an expression value the total weight of my assembly? 1

[Pjone kenobi]

hello,

I try to put into an expression ("MASS") the total weight of my assembly.
does it exist this kind of function? May I've to do a NXopen program...
Somebody could help me?
Thanks a lot

Hello,
You can use function meassure body and select "associative", so NX will create associative body_meassurement. Then it will show in expressions.

With best regards

Hello,

Yes, of course but the part number is changing so I can't use this kind of function.
Do you have an other Idea like UFWeight.AskProps(...)?


Thanks for your help

I have a journal to count mass for each part in assembly and write it in part file properties. In this case must be a global variable, which will be increased after each part count.

Can you share that journal please? I was planning to write something myself. maybe this will be a good start..

Sorry, but my post speak about assembly.
I already tested this journal. Sure it runs well but only for body selected.
What I need is the part weight and more the assembly part weight.
Do you have an idea?

Thanks a lot for your help.

@ Pjone
He's offering you what your asking for. That was just a courtesy piece of sample code.

I'm tuned into this also... sounds like it would be a good solution to a glaring NX need.

Hello,
Below is my code for mass calculation.

Thank you Micheal. It seems to work well in NX 1847.
Nice little tool.

Can you tell me if it measures every body in the part file or just the first one in the history line up?

@niedzviedz

Thank you so much it runs perfectly!!! i will adapt it to my model. Nice.
One thing more, is it possible to give to the MASS_PJOne expression the value of the total Mass you've calculated and shown on your report?

Sincerly, your journal is very helpfull because I'm NXOpen Rookie and it misses me some tips to modify existing program.

Best regards

Now i can use the value in my expression.

Many Thanks again

It measure each body on layer = 1, because any unnecessary body I delete (by delete body) or if it is false, I move on layer 100.
