Help with BOM(new proe noob)

[sandeep410]

How to add description in a prt so that it will be shown in BOM.
Right now my BOM description Column is empty
Also can any1 Tell me how to show weight in BOM.

I am new Proe user. These all stuff was so easy in Solid works.

Adding description:
Tools --> Parameters ---> type the value of description.
You can also add more parameters if needed.

Getting them on the drawing:
A BOM in Proe is a linked to the data in the prt file and
is not a stand along table. You will have to create a
table with "Repeat region". HOW? There are many videos
and proe help is really very helpful

. Proe is a
very powerful software and persons approaching it with an
open mind learn to do great things and begin to
appreciate geometry.
You can have a look at this document too.

Good luck.

Thanks dude i was able to create BOM.Phew such a hassle for a simple thing

Anyway i am still Not able toGet the weight of the object.
While creating BOM i had choosen ptc_massdesnsity option still it displays 0.0 in weight column.
Do you know how to get the weight of material in BOM.

You have to set the density and calculate mass properties before it will populate the parameter.

 

[garymig]

For the weight , you can add the parameter 'mp_density' from the model tree. Put that parameter on your drawing in a table. Make sure to run the 'edit' 'setup' 'mass props' and under source "geometry and parameters".

By selecting mp_density it shows the density of the object and not weight

I believe I can do well, and refueling. Thank you for your help

I think the parameter you want is pro_mp_mass.


Handful of options within Setup (Edit >> Setup):


1. Assign a material using Material dialogue box. Then go to Mass Props; the density of the material will automatically populate the Density field; Click Ok and the weight of the part will be calculated based on the geometry and density, and the parameter pro_mp_mass will be updated.


2. Explicitly assign a density within Mass Props dialogue box.Simply enter the density in the Density field, then click Ok, and the weight (pro_mp_mass) will be updated.


3. Explicitly assign a mass/weight (be aware of your units of course!) within the Mass Props dialogue box. Select "Geometry and Parameters" in the Source field; click Edit, and enter the mass of the part. Click Ok, then Ok again, and again your weight (pro_mp_mass) will be updated.


I use a mixture of these as well as defining a new parameter called mass so that if I have a mix of parts using both american (Std) and metric units, I can convert the units of the parameter (using relations) rather than convert the units of the whole part. That way, in a BOM, all the weights show up with the same units.


Hope that helps. Cheers!
