DERIVED PART MASS NOT CORRECT

[brendan.henderson]

I searcehd for and found/read several postings on this same issue. The solutions involved workarounds which I don't agree with.

I derived an assembly. The assy weighed 765.490 kg. The derived part weighs 123.796 kg with material Default, and 971.802 kg with the material Steel.There doesn't seem to be a method to get the originating assy mass to 'automatically' reflect in the derived part mass, other than manually over typing the part mass. This is the workaround I don't agree with.

Anybody got a better idea?

ORIGINATING ASSY

DERIVED PART

Hi Johnson, I've made some test and the problem occour in 2021, 2023.3 and 2024.1.

Here some screenshots made in Inventor R2024.1 version...

If you suppress or cut the link to the derived assembly, after an update, the mass became zero.

But this is not a solution because if you unsuppress the link, the issue return.

I will definitely give thumb up to the post in Idea board.

Yes, I have also noticed this for long time.

But personally I don't see Autodesk will make it work functionally in next release.

Hope my guess is wrong...
