Assigning material

[TudorMiron]

Hi All,
I'm just starting to learn Pre/E (switching from SolidWorks) and find some difficulties:
In Solid Works I could assign material to nay part I modeled and get than have such data as weight, CG location, moments of inertia, section moments of inertia etc. etc - for now I can't find anything like this in Pro/E - is there a way to do such thing in Pro/E?
Another thing is I could use "measure" tool to measure distance from any edge, vertex or anything - to another anything. Can't find such a thing in Pro/E.
It's not that I can't survive without those tools but they where VERY handy.

Thank you
Ted

to apply a material

edit ->setup-> materail -> pick one



analysis -> measure. for edge vertex and anything

analysis -> model analysis -> model mass properties - > for part mass, inertia etc





hope this helps

Thanks Puppet this helps. One thing thought when I wanted to assign material I realised that I don't have from where to choose one. Do I have to make my own material database?

there is a materials.zip u can d/l from this site. in the "files section" which i use. and yes u can make some.



->download it

-> unzip it somewhere

.

and then add the following to ur config.pro



pro_material_dir j:\*yourparth*\pro_materials



then it will go right to that directory when u assign ur materials
