Assembly mass
Assembly mass
(OP)
Dear all,
I have gone through multiple threads with assembly mass calculation, still I feel its unclear.
If I use <W$=@$MASS> in Part list and got mass(weight) of all child (leave) parts. But at the same time, mass of any sub assemblies are Zero(0). Now If I have a look on assembly navigator even sub-assemblies are having correct mass.
My question why is so happing that partlist and ANT are not common and how I can call values of ANT to part list. Currently I am using NX5 and having advance assembly license.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I will check with my support team to open ER, but even you start working on it, to get the final result will take longer time.
Can you tell me where the values shown in assembly navigator are stored. I mean can I retrieve these values by any mean (any function code). I am confident because values are calculated, presented and gets updated with changes. Even a small help will be great.
