How to check percentage of holes in my assembly

Title said it all, how to check percentage of holes in my assembly??

Sorry. Title didn't say it all. I have no idea what you are talking about. More detail please.

Percentage orifice area or percentage volume/capacity?

Let's say I have assembly, and I want to know how much holes or openings do I have on complete assembly, so I need percentage of how much goes on holes/openings and how much on closed assembly. Both, percentage orifice area or percentage volume/capacity would be usefull if I could see part which says how much goes on holes/openings.

Create two configurations, one with all the holes suppressed and the other with all the holes un-suppressed. You can then created two configs of your assembly, Holes/No Holes referencing the appropriate part configs.
1. You can then compare volumes of the part/assembly between the configurations to compute a volume percentage.
2. You can pick the surfaces that the holes open on and compare their areas.

I am curious, though, why do you need this information?

Hi Updraft,

I've forgot that I've put the question here.. Sometimes, my constructions needs to satisfy standard needs, for example I've needed this because I was constructing frame for radiator which needs at least 60% holes in it because of the inflammability needs.

Your way is good, but it's manual and I was hoping there was already a build-in option to check this. Anyway thanks for the help.
