Hello everyone.
I'm trying to help out a friend so I don't know all the reasons why his project is the way it is but I'll try to explain the predicament as best as possible. We're both on NX 8.0.3
He has a file with a couple hundred dead bodies (parasolids) in it for features. (Why this is I don't know) Each body has a material assigned to it and there are about 7 or 8 different materials through out the bodies. We can use Analyze > Measure Bodies and roll it over to Mass on each individual body and that's great. However they want to see the mass in a column in the part navigator so it can be exported to a spreadsheet. I can assign an expression to each body and then have it listed in the navigator but I have to do each one individually and that's too time consuming. Is there an easy way to get the mass to show up in a column in the Part Navigator when it's dead bodies?

Thanks for the help

Hi Bluewolf...

Without creating a dedicated NXopen or journal (which wouldn;t be an easy task)... I would say no...
