Weight of the structure

[andrea_pontiggia]

If you use this command

to know the weight of the structure I get a value lower than what you see by creating tables with the quantities of steel.

Why does this happen?

Thanks.

Yes :S

Command: _RBCS_inq_group Command: RBCS_inq Choose tool [Element/Group/Assembly/Model/cOg/Connection]<Group>:Group Pick element:      Group name: Elszivo        Position: Elszivo      Multiplier: 1 Number of parts: 393      Total mass: 2534 kg

so it is a bug in the program ...?

Try untick "gross weight - plates"

[andrea_pontiggia]

I had already tried. In reality, ASD provides a quantity of steel less than tables.

I also discovered something else, in my model I have profiles cut in half.

ASD considered in the tables (maybe a bug) profile split in half as a whole.

Can someone test this?

Thanks

Yess it's BUGG !!!

p1 and p2 profile same mass, but p1 cut by polyline :S

I think it is not a bug. In table You have gross weight of profile, and this is right value for fabricator. (To make cut element, you need a profile steel with a weight of whole element).

In window, that I showed in my last post, there should be a second option: "gross weight - profiles" - when this option would be unticked, weight in table = weight of whole structure.

OK, and what ur answer for included below ?

made castellated beam with macro and u have in table 2xIPE mass 😛

Good luck !

... " and this is right value for fabricator "  ???

[KamikonLK]

Nice example... This shown that we need "gross weight - profile" option too, not only for plates.

[zcsillag]

Yess !!! 😛

So when post any try it first 😄

Any answer from ASD Team ???

When we have "gross weight - profile" ?

Thx !

[KamikonLK]

For three years we do not have any new options in ASD, so do not expect any exception in this case...

It seems that Autodesk abandoned ASD and ASD team abandoned this forum.
Unfortunately ASD is dead software...
