CATIA V5 mass in BOM

[MGL0505]

Hey guys!

I want to create an excell sheet exported from CATIA with the BOM including mass of every part of the assembly. The idea is to create a macro that I can use in any assembly, that automatically adds the parameter "mass" to every part, and this parameter is added to the bill of material of the assembly.

I found this script in a forum of how to update the mass whenever a chance is made in the part, and this parameter I can into the BOM, but now the question is how to apply this to every part of an assembly automatically.
Here is the link to that forum:

http://www.catiav5forum.de/wbb3/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=4034

So I was wondering if anybody knows how to make a macro that can introduce this script (or any other) into every part of an assembly.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I am a starter user with Catia, and I have a question. I want to specify volume/mass of any solid models. I work my job with UG, but any time I avoid to convert files to step/iges etc. but sometimes I get unjoined surfaces and I avoid to "sewing". I want to determine the mass properties directly with catia.

thanks,
