Measure Bodies
Measure Bodies
(OP)
This is nothing big at all. I was just curious if this can be changed....
When I go to Analysis/Measure Bodies and select a solid, it always pops up on "volume" and I have to switch it to "Mass". Is it possible to change a setting somewhere to make it come up on "Mass"?

Its not sounding like it is possible though. I might look into creating a journal to do it for me and use that instead of the usual Measure Bodies.
RE: Measure Bodies
I doubt it. Displaying the volume value is a logical choice since it depends only on the geometry that you have chosen. The mass value depends on the volume and the material chosen (or density assigned) to the body. The mass (and/or weight) can change without the need of NX updating the model; if the material or density is changed, the mass changes but NX doesn't need to perform a model update. And if you have asserted a weight (or mass) value, what should show up then?

Maybe I have just never run into a situation before like you are saying. God knows I keep finding more and more about NX that I dont know anything about. lol

Kenja if you do create a journal that brings up weight first in the drop box I'd be interested to see it.
