Problems with the cut-list

Ovide

New member
I am having problems with a weldment cutlist.


There are 2 important things I need to know:

  1. <LI>Cut length of beam / pipe / plate
    <LI>Weightof beam / pipe / plate</LI>


The cut length of the beams and pipes are easy to determine, but not from a plate.


Question 1: How can the cut lenght of a plate be determined and being put into the cut-list?


when I want to know theweight of each member apart, it can be determined by the mass properties of each solid body. However, in the cut-list, theweight is shown of the WHOLE weldment, and not of each single member.


Question 2: How can be weight be determined of each single member of the weldment and being put into the cut-list?


I really hope somebody has the answer.





Best regards,
