Adding volume to mass properties analysis

Adding volume to mass properties analysis

Adding volume to mass properties analysis

(OP)
Hi,



I am using WF 5.0 M010 and I'm trying to figure out how to report the volume of all individual parts of an assembly in the mass properties calculation. I am writing the mass props analysis to a text file which I then use Excel to manipulate and I need the volume of each part to be listed along with its x,y & z CoG coordinates. By default the analysis only lists the total volume of an assembly.



Does anyone know how to do this? Is it driven by a config file that I could edit?

Thanks in advance.



Jon

An alternative might be to add the CoG coordinates of each component to the BOM output driven by bom.fmt - anyone know how I might do that please?
