With command massprop I can get many interesting data about 3d object, but where can I set material that my object is made of. Lets say I need to calculate volume and mass of my object which is made of aluminium, what are my options?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently building an Iassembly and I keep running into this message whenever I go to save one of Iassembly members
It states " Do you want to calculate the mass properties for the master level of detail? if you select 'NO' Inventor will calculate the mass property for the currently active level of detail."
now when I go ahead and select yes or no, it goes ahead and places 4 BOM columns in my table with Default and Reference. What exactly does this mean? I keep deleting them and they keep coming back constantly adding more and more columns to my ipart table.
Since I am constantly suppresing and unsuppressing, adding and deleting components based on the configuration, I have to always be on another level of detail other the master detail correct?
There are points in different levels i wanna make the surfer with this points and project the surfer on the down surfer(that makes with other points) after that make an enclosed Volume and finally Calculate the Volume between this 2 surfer. How its possible to Calculate?

However when I try to calculate the volume I get this value: 3.6293E+12. I am guessing that it is saying this due to the fact its in millimetres, and I am trying to calculate a large area and convert in into metres squared. What this value means?

How to calculate in a table the volume of cut and fill between the stations, The horizontal and vertical alignments are generated along with their sections. I’m wondering if there is a tool that summarize the volume of cut and fill between the stations in a table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a set of 8 coordinates that outline a pit. I have been asked to calculate it's volume. I have input the coordinates, and have produced a 3D image of the pit. I was hoping to be able to convert the object (the pit) that I have created to a solid, so I could then determine the volume, although it is proving to be difficult.
how I could calculate the volume of this pit?
I use Civil 3D 2011 and I am new to it. I have created a natural ground surface from survey points. Now i want to create a finished surface with a specific slope in a specific direction at a specific elevation and then to calculate cut and fill volume.
I can create a flat surface at a specific elevation. How to tilt this surface to a specific slope along a specific direction.
At my job site, they is about 20meter height of uneven rock surface in the excavation pit.
To calculate the volume ,I need to include this uneven rock surface wall.
For doing so,The sharp edge will displays in the cross section.
Because the uneven surface, I cannot create the surface with normal step.The TIn line will joins horizontally,not in vertical direction as is intended.

I have a corridor with an associated sample line group, and I have produced some material volume tables to give me quantities for my corridor structures and cut/fill volumes. When I look at the material volume tables they are at a seemingly arbitrary stationing. The sample line group which the material volume tables are (supposedly) based on are on alignment L1000 and they run from station 1133+73 to station 1154+00 every 10 meters. The material volume tables show volumes broken down by stations starting at station 3719+58.66 and runs through to station 3786+08.92. It is sampling at a seemingly arbitrary frequency, there is absolutely no alignment in my drawing that has stations remotely resembling those numbers, and there is definitely no sample line group it could be using that samples an alignment or stationing anything like that shown in the materials volume tables. Here is a quick screenshot of what my material volumes tables look like:[URL]
I am designing wing ribs for a prototype, ribs made with fir wood; I must make cuts in the ribs in the form of circles or triangles to reduce the weight but keep the strength. I think I will use circles because a triangle's corners can be starting points for fissures(maybe triangles with rounded corners?).
Given: wood type,fiber alignment, rib dimensions, pattern of circles and circles' diameters, can Autocad calculate the forces that rib can withstand on each axis ox,oy,oz?
Is there another program that can tell me what forces an object can withstand given information about that object?
I just imported several photos into my catalog using a preset metadata import. After Import I edited all the photos and then was set to export. Unfortunately it was the wrong metadata preset and I want to change it on all my photos. Is there a way that I havent been able to find yet that would allow me to easily change over the metadata copyright info on all the photos without having to start all over again?

I created a Punch Tool iFeature, everything seemed fine, I could save it without problems.
However, when I try to place it in a part with the Punch Tool, it says "The file has 0 volume changing features. To be a valid punch tool, the .ide file must contain at least 1 sketch-based feature."

A pipe network has been created & labeled. All pipes labeled correctly except one. The material for 15", 18", 24" RCP pipes labeled "RCP" but all the 12" pipes labeled "Reinforced Concrete Pipe". So I know I need to change the Material of the 12" pipe to read "RCP". I was hoping to just go to Pipe Properties & change it there for this dwg but it doesn't change.
I was thinking it might be in the part xml file but why would some label "RCP" and the 12" didn't? The Parts Catolog used in this dwg is the default from Autodesk. Also, in the Part List, Material is greyed out. That's the first place I went to change the Material.
I can use SolidSelection.Item for 3D object's handles and but I can't take 3D object's volumes with SolidSelection.
Then I can put object 's handles(1EE) to a collection. Can I use SolidSelection to keep my 3D volumes values? All sub-structure of my program works with SolidSelection Object.
Volume Codes;

If TypeOf tEnt Is Acad3DSolid Then
Dim tEntSolid As Acad3DSolid
Set tEntSolid = tEnt
tmpVols1.Add (tEntSolid.Handle & "/" & tEntSolid.Volume)

I can't match with returned result of these codes and SolidSelection.item(i)

I have a volume in my CAD file described by 3D Faces. Is there anyway to know what is the volume of this volume -that represents an open pit-?
Every time that I do a volume I do by the comparison of 2 surfaces but this is not the case now.
I created an enclosed "object" adding break lines to two different surfaces.
The blue surface shown on the attached drawing is a set of break lines added to "Surface A" and then the red is the other set of break lines added to "Surface B". I have already generated the volume enclosed within the surfaces by doing a surface to surface volume calculation.
My Question:I want to combine the enclosed volume created by Surface A & Surface B into a 3D "Block" that give me the volume information.
see attachment (object viewer capture). The top surface is my OG, the bottom surface is the bottom of excavation for a building. I want to project the perimeter of the building footprint up to the OG surface at a 1:5 slope. I remember in LDD the perimeter of a building, berm, dam, ditch...could be projected to the OG with specific slopes and then you could create a surface with the projected lines and do a volume calc. between the two. What is the procedure to do this in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012?

[WARNING] Frame Generator: Errors occurred while attempting to change frame member(s).
[WARNING] Problems occurred during changing Frame Member(s)
[ERROR] A change could not be completed. The reason for the failure is unknown. Please retry.
The structure that i'm trying to change, was created in IV 2012 SP1, and now I'm editing it in IV 2013.
All the pieces of this project were converted to the new version, and the only big difference from 2012 in this case i think that is the materials library, that I created a new one and set on project as default.
The strange, is that if I enter frame by frame and go to iProperties>Physicals, there i can change the material normally (but with a big wate of time ofc).
I am using Autocad 2011 just download it and its all perfect if you consider that I was stuck with 2008 before...
My problem is that I m creating objects from the tool palette (doors, windows, walls) and I cant change their material..
I have section views created from corridor model that also have had materials computed. The cut and fill areas are hatched solid and I want them set as another hatch style but after attempting to adjust the pattern it does not change. How does one change this and have it show?

how Inventor Materials are used in your companies, what is your customization level and usage level.Do you use Inventor Materials as they come out of the box ?Do you create your own materials?
Do you modify the properties of existing Inventor materials without changing the material name?Do you show material names on 2D drawings (in parts list etc)?
