Hi,
I have created a model of a flexible duct. From the manufacturers catalogue I have a mass per unit length. I can calculate the mass of thepart using parameters and relations so that I can display the value on the drawing but I would like to assign this calculated mass to the part.
I realise that I can assign this calculated mass to the part by typing it into the "Setup Mass Properties" dialogue box but I would like the part mass to update automatically as I vary the length.
For info I have created a new parameter called predicted_mass.Ihave thencreated an analysis feature to give me the length of the duct (analysis_length_1). Ihave then used a relation to calculate the predicted_mass as below:
PREDICTED_MASS = LENGTH:FID_ANALYSIS_LENGTH_1*0.00018
0.00018 is the mass per mm value.
Many thanks,
Adam
