Proper weight information (excluding weight from linked bodies)

Proper weight information (excluding weight from linked bodies)

Proper weight information (excluding weight from linked bodies)

(OP)
Hi,


I have several parts in my assembly, that are using Linked Bodies as references for some features. When one opens the Properties window of a part (right-click on part in Part Navigator) and enables the 'Update data on save', the weight information seems to contain the combined weight of all bodies in that part! That means the linked bodies' weight is unnecessarily included in the weight information.

So my question is, is it possible to disable these linked bodies from the weight calculation?


Thanks!

RE: Proper weight information (excluding weight from linked bodies)

NX uses the ReferenceSet model -> rework it -> go into each assembly part -> display part,
display all solids in that part ( activate hidden layers unblank all)
format ReferenceSet mark the model referenceSet deselect all bodies should not be used/displayed in the assembly + weight calculation.
assign the prober material on that body(s)
save
