Incorrect weight with sheet metal part flattened

Incorrect weight with sheet metal part flattened

Incorrect weight with sheet metal part flattened

(OP)
Environment: Teamcenter 9 (9.1.2.2(20130222.00))and NX 8.5.1.3
Problem: If I create a flange on a simple model and after that use flat pattern, and if Update Weight Data Now
is accessed in the navigator using Properties, the weight is almost 3 times too big. If the same procedure is
performed in native mode (NX 8.5.1.3), the weight will remain unchanged. Is this a known problem only in the
TC environment?

RE: Incorrect weight with sheet metal part flattened

We had a simmilar problem to this when we first starting using NX7.5 and TC8, because the Weight was calling up a "full weight" from the solid, the flat pattern and the hidden (inside flat pattern) flat solid. It turned out to be a bug that needed fixing through GTAC.

While it was fixed, we used the workaround to delete and recreate the SOLID reference set, selecting only the finished solid body.

Hope this helps.
