trying to get mass noted in model tree

[jpfee]

hi
proe wildfire 2.0 i need to get the calculated mass of part and assemblies to appear in the model tree, cannot seem to get the mass included i have a model tree which includes partno, rev and description etc - i can get these to appear in tree but cannot view the mass

Do Analysis>Mass Properties and choose Save as Feature.
there are 3 types Quick, Saved and Feature. Saved will add to analysis display feature puts in tree

A Feature will appear in the Model Tree and you can use Edit Definition and choose which of the default ones to create cog X Y Z or just mass. For Tree Add Column Feat Props and enter the parameter name used in analysis feature MASS or any custom name you type.

There is also a pro-program method but that is not as easy to learn as the Analysis Feature.

Hi
still cannot get this to appear, i am using an old tree config file which lists rev / part no. / description / material and mass - all the other columns are entered as text so i have no problems but cannot get the mass included

find attached a copy of the tree config file that i use, i have used this in the past pro2000i2 with no problems

thanks

if i copy a part from the steel library which had been modelled in an earlier version of proe the mass will appear, but still cant get it to appear in any new part modelled in wildfire

The parameter you are looking for is PRO_MP_MASS.

To propagate this parameter, you need to go to Edit -> Setup -> Mass Props & click OK.

hi
when i enter anything into the relations it wont allow me to save

In the Local Parameter settings, there is a Source Column - how is this linked to relation, this seems to be the only differance between new modelled parts and the parts from steel library which where modelled in an old version of proe these parts i have no problem with

If this is the case, have a look at Edit -> Setup -> Material to see if you have a material defined. If not, open one of the old models that works, use the Edit -> Setup -> Materials to save the material file, and assign the saved file to the new models.
