iLogic to sum property of parts BOM

Anonymous
Not applicable

Here's the situation, I have an assembly file of a steel structure comprised of several sub-assemblies. Within each sub-assembly is a part. All features are placed within the sub-assembly level, NOT the part. This way, on my steel details, I can pull a parts only list to obtain the "gross" weight of the steel before any features are cut out. On the drawing showing the overall assembly, I can pull a structured list to show the "net" weight of the structure after features are cut out (what the structure will actually weigh after fabrication).

 

However, we are being asked by our customers and fabricators to show the "net" AND "gross" weights on the same sheet.

 

Is there a way, using ilogic to access the BOM of the parts only of an assembly and add up the mass of those parts and throw that value into a custom iproperty of the overall assembly? Thanks!

If i correctly understand what you want to accomplish you could do the following:

Calculate the mass for the full assembly

And then suppress all the features for each (sub)assembly by traversing your entire assembly

Which will give you the Gross Weight? 

Is that correct?
