The command allows to analyze Physical Properties without modifying the document.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the Analysis > Analyze Physical Properties... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the different entities to analyze.

  2. Validate.

 

 

  • The different values are displayed in the Result section.

  • The center of mass and the main frame can be analyzed to know their coordinates by clicking the "+" on the right of the cell.

 

 

  • The mass, the center of mass and the moments of inertia must be managed for the dynamic simulations.

  • Calculating the physical properties of an assembly does not account for welds and local modifications in the assembly.

  • Parts and sub-assemblies without mass are ignored in the calculation of the total mass, without an error message .It is the same for other calculations (surfaces, volumes, ...)

 

 

Available Options:

 

 

The box allows to hide selected entities during the use of the command, to be able to select other entities more easily, especially those who were behind.

 

 

When a part has no material or when its material is not correctly defined, the calculation of the mass of the assembly mass gives an incorrect result. In order to avoid errors, this option, when checked, does not allow you to calculate the mass of the assembly if one of the parts has no mass.
