Specifying mass of part

tony_459

I modeled part geometries approximately after part schematics and, despite knowing their materials (steel, aluminum), I can't trust their masses and inertial properties to be right.

I do know the actual masses the real parts would have and would like to specify them directly (so that density is back-computed from

Is this possible? I'm trying to simulate an assembly and mass properties are important there. Thanks!

Mbartlet passes this along not to long ago to set position, mass, material and CofG with minimal steps. If you're looking for correct CofG then drawing sphere where the outline you have says it is then run FS to set specs of sphere.

Thanks, Glen! Will give this a try!
