Using NX 8.5.3.3
TC 8.3.3.9

I have assembly, where first component has constant density which is 0.283 lbm/in^3, but other two parts can have a different densities (parts are getting updated with outside expression files.) i.e. 0.261 lbm/in^3 OR 0.098 lbm/in^3 due to different material.
I have used Tools >> Materials >> Assign Materials option where created a material and set the Density with "Expression". (which should get updated with expression file values outside.)
When I am importing a EXP. File and updating part, density is getting updated in Expression Editor as well in Material Manager, but after selecting part with Information >> Object, Information window showing incorrect value and even Body Measurement values are not updating.(Body measurement value showing earlier values before updating.)

Can anybody provide me workaround, how to update density and body measurement values??
