Get Mass Properties Model 2

Overview

This video provides an extended demonstration of retrieving mass properties from Creo models using Nitro-CELL. Building on the first mass properties video, it covers additional scenarios such as working with assemblies, handling models with multiple bodies, and extracting specific property values like mass, density, and center of gravity coordinates. The video demonstrates how to structure the execution worksheet to capture different mass property fields and how to use the returned data for engineering analysis. It also covers common issues like missing material assignments and how they affect the results.

Key Steps

1. Open the target model or assembly in the Creo session
2. Verify material assignments are correct for accurate mass calculations
3. Enter the Get Mass Properties command with the desired output fields
4. Execute the command to calculate and retrieve the property values
5. Review the returned data in the output columns for accuracy

Tips

• Assembly mass properties include contributions from all active components
• Missing material assignments will result in zero mass values
• Use this command in combination with parameter operations to store mass data as model parameters
