Automatically change dimension to set a parts mass?
Automatically change dimension to set a parts mass?
(OP)
Hi All,
I'm trying to model up a dynamics problem and I was wondering if it's possible to adjust a dimension with a mass goal in mind. So if I want the mass of the part to be 5kg, Solidworks will adjust a dimension I specify in order to hit that value.
In excel it's called goal seek I believe.
Thanks.

You can add a lot of functionality to design tables, just skip a row below your dimensional parameters.
