Hello,

We are currently using DELMIAWorks and are looking to get into VIN Generator within the program. The problem or question we have is we are unsure how the weights are calculated for the entire product we are making. For reference, we have a Luggage Rack that we created a BOM for, when you go to edit the BOM, there is no weight. How is that weight calculated and then incorporated into the total trailer weight for the VIN? We know what a standard trailer weighs, but we need to be able to have it dynamic given there are a ton of configurations a person can do on our trailers (windows, doors, a/c, etc.). Is this even being considered in the VIN Generator process or is it simply just attaching a VIN to a trailer and everything weight wise happens outside of DELMIAWorks.

Any info would be helpful.
