Mass Properties Dialog Box

The Mass Properties dialog box has been enhanced to improve workflow and clarify options.

Some of the changes include:
  • The Assigned mass properties option has been replaced by the Override Mass Properties button. When you click Override Mass Properties, the new Override Mass Properties dialog box appears. As in previous releases, you can override values for mass and center of mass. Now you can also override moments of inertia.
  • For assemblies, if one or more components has mass properties that have been overridden, the components are listed at the bottom of the Mass Properties dialog box.
  • Output coordinate system has been changed to Report coordinate values relative to. The contents of the drop-down list remain the same.
  • The Print and Copy buttons have been moved to the bottom of the dialog box, and a Help button has been added.
  • Show output coordinate system in corner of window has been moved to the Mass/Section Property Options dialog box. Click Options in the Mass Properties dialog box.
