Hi!!

I am working on a large assmebly that has routed system. I am using procabling to route cables and harnesses. Now i need to know the effect on weight and center of gravity by putting these cables in the assmbly. I am unable to find a way to assgn some density and estimate weight of cables in wf2. Is there any way. Thanx in advance.
Regards
Yasir

Add the parameter DENSITY to your spools which gives you the linear density, mass per unit length.

Note
The MASS_UNITS and UNITS parameters should also be specified for the wire/cable or sheath. Default units for this value are derived from the assembly itself if the MASS_UNITS and UNITS parameters are not used. <O:p></O:p>
