Calculating the weight of a part?

I would like to find the actual weight of a part in pounds.

 

I have attached one of the parts I would like to know the total pounds or ounces for.  I’m using a specific material that I set in the Physical tab of iProperties.

 

Version = Inventor Pro 2009

 

Thank You,

Bill J.

I see 4.184 lbmass (Rela listed in the Mass Window under General Properties located in the Physical tab. Does this mean the part has a weight of 4.184 pounds?

 

I hope it’s this easy.

 

Thanks,

Bill

Good afternoon Bill,

 

Yes it really is that easy!  Ensure your material/ density is correct and the value given in the Mass box is correct!  You may need to hit Update if you have made any changes to the part.

Thanks to all. This is really helpful and so easy. I try to figure stuff out but there have been several times that I would have been stuck without the assistance I’ve received here.

 

I do have another question regarding setting up the desired accuracy but I’ll ask about that in a new message.
