CATIA V5 mass in BOM
CATIA V5 mass in BOM
(OP)
Hey guys!
I want to create an excell sheet exported from CATIA with the BOM including mass of every part of the assembly. The idea is to create a macro that I can use in any assembly, that automatically adds the parameter "mass" to every part, and this parameter is added to the bill of material of the assembly.
I found this script in a forum of how to update the mass whenever a chance is made in the part, and this parameter I can into the BOM, but now the question is how to apply this to every part of an assembly automatically.
Here is the link to that forum:
http: //www.cati av5forum.d e/wbb3/wbb /index.php ?page=Thre ad&thr eadID=4034
So I was wondering if anybody knows how to make a macro that can introduce this script (or any other) into every part of an assembly.
Thanks!

RE: CATIA V5 mass in BOM
I am a starter user with Catia, and I have a question. I want to specify volume/mass of any solid models. I work my job with UG, but any time I avoid to convert files to step/iges etc. but sometimes I get unjoined surfaces and I avoid to "sewing". I want to determine the mass properties directly with catia.
thanks,
