Design Table Question
Design Table Question
(OP)
Is there a way to drive a design table based on the weight calculated in the mass properties. Example: I have a plain alloy steel bar that has a 5" diameter and I leave it without a length dimension, but I want it to have an exact weight of 53 lbs. Can the design table make the model based on the weight I need? This would then give me the exact length based on the weight.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

RE: Design Table Question
If you know the weight per foot of the steel, you could set up an equation inside of excel to calculate the length.

Examples:
O.D. = 15"
Weight = 58 Lbs
Length is = to "X"
O.D. = 10.5"
Weight = 35.75 Lbs
Length = "X"
Hope this helps to explain what I am looking for.
