Material from SETUP

Iassociate material to our models via SETUP-MATERIAL-ASSIGN.

We want to display this material on parametrically on the drawing. We have set up a parameterand material
Is there a relation that I can write to automatically update and material when amaterial is assigned to the part? I didn't know if there was a system parameterfo material or not.


Iuse thetruck for updating material=material_param(condition), but unsuccessfully, I use WF2.


Regards,

We do this where I work (WF2) and it works successfully.


We created a string parameter MATERIAL_NAME & use the relation


MATERIAL_NAME=material_param("condition").


In the drawing format, we use &MATERIAL_NAME in a table to call the parameter.


One thing that you need to ensure is that in the material file, on the CONDITION line is the material.
 
Hi IM


I am not able to assin material by this method SETUP-MATERIAL-ASSIGN.


Is there any material avilable in ptc folder.Can write in detail.


Thanks in advance.

Hi people,

I'm having difficulties in retrieving the material assigned to the model in the part mode while displaying the bill of materials in the drawing

Is there any function or a way to do it.

If so how, I'll be greatful if u people help me with some tutorials.

Hi
How do I enable a part to calculate its own weight?
Create a <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">parameter[/B] called <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">weight[/B] (real no.) Add a <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">relation[/B]:
weight=mp_mass("")
Ensure the density (<B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Setup | Density[/B]) is correct for the model and units After regeneration the model will calculate and store <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">weight[/B] This parameter can be shown on drawings using "<B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">&weight[/B]"

HI imichiu
Be sure that the condition has a name! If the condition value is
empty , the relation will produce a wrong message! using WF2.0
 
hi,


how do i add library which contains list of different types of the material with properties Like density, tensile strength etc. ishould be able to assign & retrieve the library for the new models

hello


step1 : create parameter weight


step2: analysis>model analysis> density=1>compute>ok


step3:edit >setup>mass prop>ok


step4: relations>weight=mp_mass('')>ok


step5: tools>parameters>see the calculated mass


ok
