Use of mass from material definition.

Use of mass from material definition.

Use of mass from material definition.

(OP)
Normally when I create a model I define the density using "Edit"; "Setup"; "Mass Properties". Sometimes I also need to define the material. However, the material also defines a density, which does not necessarily match the one defined in mass properties.I then go on to show the weight of the component on the drawing using "MP_MASS". This uses the density set up using "Mass Properties". Is there a way to use the density set up by defining the material?
I am using Wildfire 2003130.
Cheers and tia
Dave

RE: Use of mass from material definition.

Dave, assign a material to your part. Materials can be found under PROMATERIAL directory defined in config.pro
