If the No Material option is checked, you cannot calculate the mass of the part. If the part has no mass, the assembly that uses it may be in error in case of strict mode. Dynamic simulations no longer work either. |
Available Options:
Derive:
|
The Derive option allows to modify the material and the coating of a derived or mirror part if it is checked. This option only appears for this type of parts. If this option is unchecked, the material and the coating will be those of the main part. |
