Assigning density at assembly level

Assigning density at assembly level

Assigning density at assembly level

(OP)
I have a large assembly in which many components don't have a material assigned to them.  I would like to override to part level material densities and assign a density to the assembly level.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

This techniques would be close enough as most of the components are the same material.

Thanks

RE: Assigning density at assembly level

Hi, cobra46:

You can assign mass properties to both parts and their assemblies.  But it is not a good practice.

Best regards,

Alex
